Following Linux, introduce shorter names, for example U64 for
uint64_t.

Except Linux uses lower case letters.

I personally think Linux style is wrong here. The int8_t types are standard types.

Besides, we save lots of characters by using 4-space tabs instead of 8-space tabs. We can afford to spend some of those saved characters on using proper type names :-)


It's not about saving space, it's about improving readability. We have about 21k uses of these types, they deserve short names.
