Agreed.

Yeah, I think it's a regression to be honest.  None of the other unsigned base
C types (unsigned short, unsigned long, etc.) have these short cuts in the
language.  I consider it bit of an odd anachronism.  If you really want to use
a shorter spelling of "unsigned int" in the tree, I think "u_int" is a better
choice and more typical in FreeBSD.
