Interesting, so this tells that:

rank(long long int) > rank(long int) > rank(int) > rank(short int) > rank(char)

While following was the previous definition:

rank(long long int) >= rank(long int) >= rank(int) >= rank(short int) >= rank(char)

Systems do exist where *all* of those have same size, but they are
usually programmed in Fortran-9X, require liquid cooling, and recognize
name "Cray" ...
