7.18.1.1 Exact-width integer types

1. The typedef name intN_t designates a signed integer type with width
N, no padding bits, and a two's complement representation.  Thus,
int8_t denotes a signed integer type with a width of exactly 8 bits.

It seems C99 garantees that these nice integers types will use two's
complement.  But I guess we have no such guarantee for int or char?
It's only for intN_t.  Can you share your experience on this?  Thank
you!
