We need the types precisely for FFI to C, and IMO no other reason. Even 
then, FFI to functions using fixed-size types should use WordN/IntN 
types. The rest of Haskell shouldn't depend on it... although I suspect 
the "Int" type (which I avoid) corresponds to C "int" -- something far 
more likely to vary than "char".
