I agree that that's probably overkill. I'm prepared to assume that
anything defining int8 defines int16 and int32 as well --- but int64
is just new enough that I don't want to make that extrapolation.

Okay, int64 and uint64 must be tested for separately then.

This form of the patch looks reasonable to me.
