Huh?  You most certainly are guarantteed that long is the widest
signed integral type and unsigned long is the widest unsigned integral
type by ISO 6.1.2.5.  This with one caveat -- I am assuming that
"integer type" and "integral type" have the same meaning, but I'm
pretty sure I've read that this will be made clear in an upcoming
technical corrigendum.
