If only.  At least in the 2004 edition, they pulled an entire 
hypothetical integer type system named "underlying type" out of thin air 
and based some of their rules on that, totally mucking up any clear 
picture of the actual C integer semantics anyone might still have had in 
their mind.

And yes, that utter phantasy of theirs does indeed claim the existence 
of integer constants of a type smaller than int.  Such a thing has never 
existed in the entire history of at least roughly standard-conforming C 
compilers, and it flat-out contradicts the actual semantics of C integer 
constants and conversions.  Didn't stop them, though.

What it means is that a MISRA 2004 checker will indeed pretend that the 
type of 1U is uint8_t(!), totally defeating the purpose of the UINT32C() 
macro if the compiler/libc happens to implement that by suffixing a 'U'.

So in a MISRA 2004 environment, one had better forget those macros even 
exist --- I obviously did :-).  You'll really have to write 1UL, 
(uint32_t)1 or equivalent, instead.

If there's method to that madness, it eludes me.
