Are the Rust types not exactly the same as the long established C99 <stdint.h> or C++11 <cstdint>? I haven't used the "fuzzy" types much in over a decade!

They are exactly that - but when POSIX defines things in terms of the fuzzy types, even the sensible people who use stdint can't escape.

(of course, for FFI there's libc::c_int and so on, but that's just it: for FFI.)
