maybe but thats not the point
i mean if types (like int.long) vary on different machines
and programmers use them  - wouldnt it to be better to
allow redefine them like in compiler commandline
liek -long=64 -long=32 , something like that?

(i find it as not much interesting remark, but wonder it that wouldnt be 
more logical)
