Come to think of it, how about having individual macros
like __LONG_BITS__ and __INTPTR_BITS__ with integer values,
instead of combination boolean macros like __ILP32__ and
__LP64__ and whatnot? Having individual macros for each
word length be simpler and easier to understand and would
probably scale better to future architectures.
