I've been toying with the idea of creating a "types" man page that
lists common scalar and pointer types in FreeBSD (including standard C
types).  For every type, the man page would indicate:

 - the name (duh)
 - what header(s) (if any) to include to define it
 - width on all supported platforms
 - signedness
 - equivalence with other types
 - appropriate format specifier and cast to use for printf()ing
   variables of that type portably.

What I'm wondering is:

 1) does anybody else but me think that this would be a good idea?

 2) in what section would such a man page belong?
