IMO, regardless, it's dumb. Using types from sys/types.h makes sense
for getting system specific fixed-size integer types, say a 32bit
integer. However, using something like ulong that's identical to
unsigned long is just gratuitous abbreviation -- and if it has a
chance of breaking on some systems, it's nonsense and should be
removed.
