if you're going to do that, at least make it

    typedef int assert_size_spec_big_enough_for_char
        [MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE + 1 - sizeof (char)];
    typedef int assert_size_spec_big_enough_for_short
        [MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE + 1 - sizeof (short)];
    typedef int assert_size_spec_big_enough_for_int
        [MAX_INTEGRAL_TYPE_SIZE + 1 - sizeof (int)];

so that the compiler can barf if it wants to, but there's no impact on
the generated code.
