Dumb question: In the latest draft I could find 
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1899.pdf>, these 
macros are supposed to be expressions of type size_t. Was this changed 
from 'size_t' to 'int' in the final standard? That would make sense, as 
these values are likely to be used in shift-width contexts where 
negative numbers can be useful.
