/*
 * Basic "types".
 *
 * Note the attempt to make all basic types have 4 letters.
 * This improves readibility and standardizes the code.
 *
 * Likewise, all complex types are at least 4 letters.
 * Thus, almost every 1 to 3 letter word is a legal variable,
 * except for certain reserved words ('for' and 'if' and 'do').
 *
 * Note that the type used in structures for bit flags should be uint.
 * As long as these bit flags are sequential, they will be space smart.
 *
 * Note that on some machines, apparently "signed char" is illegal.
 *
 * A char/byte takes exactly 1 byte
 * A s16b/u16b takes exactly 2 bytes
 * A s32b/u32b takes exactly 4 bytes
 *
 * A sint/uint takes at least 2 bytes
 * A long/huge takes at least 4 bytes
 *
 * A real normally takes from 4 to 10 bytes
 * A vptr normally takes 4 (rarely 8) bytes
 *
 * Note that some files have already been included by "h-include.h"
 * These include <stdio.h> and <sys/types>, which define some types
 * In particular, "bool", "byte", "uint", and "huge" may be defined
 * already, possibly using "typedefs" of various kinds, and possibly
 * being defined to something other than required by my code.  So we
 * simply redefine them all using a stupid "_hack" suffix.
 *
 * Also, see <limits.h> for min/max values for sint, uint, long, huge
 * (INT_MIN, INT_MAX, 0, UINT_MAX, LONG_MIN, LONG_MAX, 0, ULONG_MAX).
 * These limits should be verified and coded into "h-constant.h", or
 * perhaps not, since those types have "unknown" length by definition.
