There's definitely a point in allowing that - ANSI C compatibility. From
the May 1, 1986 draft, p. 23:
The type of an integer constant is the first of the
corresponding list in which its value can be represented.
Unsuffixed decimal: "int", "long int", "unsigned long int";
unsuffixed octal or hexadecimal: "int", "unsigned int",
"long int", "unsigned long int"; suffixed by the letter "u"
or "U": "unsigned int", "unsigned long int"; suffixed by the
letter "l" or "L": "long int", "unsigned long int";
suffixed by both the letters "u" or "U" and "l" or "L":
"unsigned long int".
