It would also have to define a full set of conversion specifiers for printf/scanf supporting these types. Moreover, these types would be fairly irrelevant on a system with 9-bit char's, 18-bit short's and so on. The idea is brain dead and the C standardization committee is looking at a completely different approach (more details in comp.std.c).
