Let me rephrase the question. It seems clear
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html> that “l” and “L” are not be
relied on. As far as I can tell, on all current Python implementations, “i” and
“I” have item sizes of 4, while “q” and “Q” have item sizes of 8.
Can anybody offer any counterexamples? If not, why does the documentation
suggest that “i” and “I” could have an item size of 2?
