    A customer has asked me to add 128 bit integers to the 64 bit
    version of my compiler system (lcc-win64).
    After developing the assembly procedures, I have several
    questions:
    1) How should I name this stuff?
    long long long ???
    __int128 ?
    int128 ?
    2) How would this integers get printed with printf?
    "%llld" ?
    "%I128d" ?
    3) Should I supply definitions for it in inttypes.h, and in
    stdint.h ?
    4) What other implications can this new type have? I would have
    loved to use long long for this, long for 64 bit, int for 32
    bits, etc. But this is not possible for compatibility reasons.
    There is too much software there that assumes long long is 64 bits,
    not 128.
