Excellent news.  There have been similar mix-ups between <float.h> and
<math.h>.  Is any of this going to be available pre-9.x?  I can see that
the format specifiers are really an interface change and might be
considered CRTL version-specific, and CRTL versions have always followed
OS versions in the past.  But a lot of stdint.h is just names for
integers of various sizes that are already available but that now have
standard names.  I get tired of dragging around my own home-grown
versions of stdint.h
