I wrote "almost" because they could also be implemented in terms of
extended integer types.  I'm not aware of any implementation that even
has extended integer types.

But for example, an implementation with 8-bit char, 16-bit short, and
64-bit int and long might define int32_t as a typedef for an extended
32-bit type.
