I've used systems where the native word size is 16, 24, 32, 36 and 64 
bit. Other values are available :(

The one that really strained C was the one where incrementing a pointer 
by 1 went to the next bit. Not byte or word. (TI GPU)

The one with 36 bits (DECSystem10) an address was the address of a word, 
and you couldn't point to a character inside the word. I didn't use C on it.
