That's still full of problems, unless you impose a stricter type system 
in what's left of the language (eg. revert to B or even BCPL).

Since it needs to know whether an 8-bit 255 value is sign- or 
zero-extended to 32 or 64 bits.

Or whether an int value needs to be converted to float or vice versa.

There's also the question of passing structs by value.
