This makes no difference for any valid arguments to those formats (i.e., 
arguments promoted from the relevant type).

Please read stdint.h.  The formats need to match the types there, and the 
16-bit and 32-bit *fast* types are int for 32-bit systems and long for 
64-bit systems, so the formats must match that.
