This was the typical nasty (and from my point of view quite ingenious)
trick of MSVS-C++, when they introduced 64 bit Windows. They kept the
"int" to be 32 bit.

Like this older 32bit code, which of course is VERY MUCH code :) ,
could be translated very easily to 64bit output... .

(although of course "strictly spoken" int in a 64bit system should be
64bit ... but for calculations in typical software 32bit is completely
sufficient for 99% of computation tasks ... 64bit is then "merely"
necessary to handle the 64bit pointer arithmetic, which in typical C++
code the compiler would organize internally anyway...).
