It says that sizeof (char) == 1 but doesn't say that it means 8 bits.
sizeof is measured in chars, whatever it is. But limits for values
of char imply that it has at least 8 bits.
Perhaps we can assume some widely true facts even if ANSI C doesn't
guarantee that if it makes life easier. For example that a C type
corresponding to Int32 exists at all, and that different pointer
types have the same representation - we already rely on that, don't we?
