sizeof (integral types)

Possibly true of C++ and of pre-ANSI C; however, once the standard is
approved and compilers start claiming conformance, anybody who claims
that their compiler conforms but whose compiler doesn't have:

	a "char" type that holds values between -127 and 127;
	an "unsigned char" type that holds values between 0 and 255;
	a "short" or "int" type that holds values between -32767 and
	    32767;
	an "unsigned short" or "unsigned int" type that holds values
	    between 0 and 65535;
	a "long" type that holds values between -(2^31-1) and (2^31-1);
	an "unsigned long" type that holds values between 0 and (2^32-1);

is lying.
