Um... in that case I'm not too horribly worried about platforms with 
extremely esoteric ways of storing integers :-).

I've certainly seen code that assumes a "cleared" block of memory means 
that any of that memory cast as a pointer gives NULL (e.g. 
calloc(sizeof(foo)), where foo is a struct containing pointers).
