Yes, because the standard says "The width of an integer-class type is
greater than that of every integral type of the same signedness." So
implementations can't even have other integer-class types which are
not wider than their widest integral type, e.g. no 4-bit integer-class
type, or a 12-bit one.

Yes, I think so. Otherwise it implies that you should be able to use
integer-class types, even though it can never work.
