Interesting point. However, once we bite the bullet of not tying
OID == int32, it should be relatively painless to equate OID to any
compiler-supported integer type. So we should only need to fix
this problem once. If your projection is accurate, no doubt C2020
will consider "long long long int" to be a required type ;-)
