	WRONG!

	K&R, pp. 182-3:

		Up to three sizes of integer, declared short int,
	int, and long int, are available.  Longer integers provide
	no less storage than shorter ones, but the implementation
	may make either short integers, or long integers, or both
	be equivalent to plain integers.

I don't see anything there that requires int be the same size as one of
short and long.
