GDB is made up of several objects.  Some have been identified - a frame,
an architecture, the cli output device (ui-file / ui-out), and even a
proposal for reggroup .... Others are still lurking beneath the surface.

I don't think you are seriously suggesting that one of these
``fundamental'' objects - ex ``struct gdbarch *'' - be replaced by
``unsigned short''.
