Very often we use "int" where negative numbers are not needed (and can further cause trouble) just because it's painful to type "unsigned int" or "unsigned", or ugly to use in function arguments. Similarly sometimes chars would absolutely need to be signed but nobody types "signed char". Let's add a few aliases for such types and make them part of the standard internal API so that over time we can get used to them and get rid of horrible definitions. A comment also reminds some commonly available types and their properties regarding other types.
