-> defined by minima and maxima. A "word" is not a formal integral type
-> in the standard.  In most implementations, a word is 16 bits. More
-> problematic is an int which is typically 16 bits on 8- and 16-bit

Hmm...  interesting.  I was always under the impression that a "word"
was the smallest atom in a "page" when swapping was done, i.e. the
smallest and fastest "fetch thingie" that the data bus could handle,
sometimes called "A Memory Cell" or "A Location" ?
