+ * short_types - shorter names for standard integer types
+ *
+ * "C is a Spartan language, and so should your naming be."
+ *     -- Linus Torvalds
+ *
+ * The short_types header provides for convenient abbreviations for the
+ * posixly-damned uint32_t types.  It also provides be32/le32 for explicitly
+ * annotating types of specific endian.
+ *
+ * Include this header, if only to stop people using these identifiers
+ * for other things!
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *     #include <stdint.h>
+ *     #include <string.h>
+ *     #include <stdio.h>
+ *     #include <ccan/short_types/short_types.h>
+ *     
+ *     // Print nonsensical numerical comparison of POSIX vs. short_types. 
+ *     #define stringify_1(x)  #x
+ *     #define stringify(x)    stringify_1(x)
+ *     
+ *     static void evaluate(size_t size, const char *posix, const char *sht,
+ *                          unsigned int *posix_total, unsigned int *sht_total,
+ *                          unsigned int *size_total)
+ *     {
+ *             printf("\t%ssigned %s: POSIX %i%%, short %i%%\n",
+ *                    sht[0] == 'u' ? "un" : "",
+ *                    sht+1,
+ *                    strlen(posix)*100 / size,
+ *                    strlen(sht)*100 / size);
+ *             *posix_total += strlen(posix);
+ *             *sht_total += strlen(sht);
