I believe the problem is there was never a strict policy what header is 
defining what symbols, including by proxy. That changed, breakage.

I like the idea behind CARDn & friends, but (u)intN_t is C99, and Xmd.h 
doesn't seem to be so great either.

Let's hope X is C99 by the time memory models are overhauled again. Or 
whatever is the master plan here.
