I beg to differ: I tend to use "int" when 16 bits will suffice and
I'm not concerned with data space, and I think many others would do
the same, especially since the 4BSD Vax PCC compiler (and probably
many other compilers (SysV Vax PCC?)) won't put "register short"s
into registers.  (Someday, someone should fix that....)
