This argument continues but I'm wondering: ``Do we even have any of these
whacko prototypes in our ABI?''  Its not worth arguing about how we
might screw our users if we won't. :)

I was under the impression that one was supposed _avoid_ using < int
sized types, all the time, precisely becuase of the __P() lossage.
