I like the idea. There’s nothing offensive enough in the diffs to comment upon here (though I suppose I could see a few spots one could quibble over if one were so inclined). I wonder, though, why not make its own typedef, even if it is just ‘typedef man_res_t uintmax_t;’ in the rman headers? Warner
