That's a small detail that yes, we've tried to avoid the absolute
humongous mess that the C standard library has with their horrendous
'PRId*' mess, but honestly, it's just a tiny detail.

I've not yet implemented it for glibc or for GCC format checking, but C23
adds 'wN' format length modifiers so you will be able to e.g. use "%w64d"
with printf to print an int64_t and won't need those PRI macros any more.

Is that meant to work regardless of whether the type is
int, long or long long provided the size is correct?

Or does it require the compiler know which type inttypes.h
uses for uint32_t and uint64_t?
