C does, however, now have _BitInt

Ugh, what a terrible thing to add to C.
Eh. It's probably meant to be typedefed away. The number of bits has to be a constant, so it's not like it's a really new language feature, just a different way to write uintXX_t that's not constrained to fixed values of X.

If you ask your compiler for 1-megabyte integers, that's on you.
