Thanks for info. FYI (even you don't do active development), although this patch
was merged, it's IMHO wrong approach.
I've sent better approach [1] and I'm going to send v2, which uses uint{16,32}_t
instead of uint{16,32}_t (fixed size types are good enough).
I'll Cc you in new patch, but feel free to ignore it.
Kind regards,
Petr
