Dir 4.6 and usage of "fast" types in stdint.h
#1
Directive 4.6 indicates "typedefs that indicate sign and signedness should be used in place of the basic numerical types" and suggests that, for C99-compliant systems, the types of should be used.

stdint.h also defines "fast" types which are at least of the indicated length, but may be larger if such a length could be handled more efficiently by the processor.

Is it a violation of Directive 4.6 to utilize these types? They are not "basic numerical types", but also do not necessarily adhere to a fixed length as specified by their names.
