I'm not sure what you mean by "Compilers extend to work with
unsigned long long.".

Preprocessing expressions (used in #if conditions) are evaluated in
intmax_t or uintmax_t, but that's not the case for constant expressions
in general.  For example, in :

    static const signed char c = -2;

the initializer is required to be a constant expression.  -2 is of type
int, which is implicitly converted to char.  There are no constants of
types narrower than int, but you can write:

    static const signed char c = (signed char)-2;

where `(signed char)-2` is a constant expression of type signed char.
