   Correct.   
      
   There were a number of potential use-cases for _BitInt types that worked   
   better without integer promotions, and it's easy enough to ask for the   
   equivalent of integer promotions if you need them (by converting to   
   int), so _BitInt types are exempt from integer promotions.   
      
   Yes, I am glad there is now this choice in C.
