long long vs long

[Graham Murray]

This is probably a silly question, but rather than having long long for
64 bit, why was long not made 64bit? The standard (AFAIK) states that
short <= int <= long.  So, it should be possible for long to be 64 bit
rather than 32. This would give a simple progression from 8bit chars to
64bit longs.
