I've just surfaced from a debugging problem caused by some odd code
that overloads a constructor on different integer types and requires
an additional parameter to identify they type supplied.  (Library code
from Microsoft).

This caused a problem as a number of integer constants have been used,
and these require different type identifiers in different environments.

I can fix this by adding either a "long-suffix" (e.g. "1L") or casting
to ensure a "portable" type.

However, I was struck by the lack of a "short-suffix".  This is not
mentioned the latest draft to which I have access.  Has this
(admittedly minor) lack of orthogonality been addressed?
