I'm fine with the C99 type names, and the underlining naming convention in 
general. I also like expanding the Req/Rep contractions to full words. This is the 
right time to make the change.

Also, we currently have three aliases for a byte: CARD8, BYTE, and BOOL. I propose 
dropping BYTE, and naming the others uint8_t and bool8_t. (Having a separate 
boolean type conveys range information, and the name distinguishes it from other 
boolean types whose size is incompatible or undefined.)
