Is "sizeof unsigned" a valid C expression?  I think (and gcc agrees with
me) that you should use parentheses when determining the storage size of
a data type, as in "sizeof (unsigned)".  If you omit the parentheses,
the argument to sizeof should be a valid expression, which "unsigned" is
not, as it cannot be the name of a constant or variable.
