C99 regulates sized integer typed through <stdint.h> (adopted by C++11),
but types such as int8_t or uint8_t are still optional and not required.
Additionally these sized integer types are required not to have padding
bits or trap representations, and use two's complement. Is the proposal
that these types be required, as opposed optional like in C?
