See, why would you need an "architecture specific typedef" in order to represent the day of the month, or the number of arguments in main "in a portable way". int does it in a portable way already.

It's just muddled thinking.

int is architecture specific too, and it's been "muddled" plenty due to backward compatibility concerns. Using typedefs throughout would be a cleaner choice if we were starting from scratch.
