   The quote is taken out of context.   
   The context was that on platforms that have properties (a) and (b) (see   
   below) printing variables declared as uint32_t via %u is probably UB   
   according to the Standard (I don't know for sure, however it is   
   probable), but it can't cause troubles with production C compiler. Or   
   with any C compiler that is made in intention of being used rather than   
   crafted to prove theoretical points.   
   Properties are:   
   a) uint32_t aliased to 'unsigned long'   
   b) 'unsigned int' is at least 32-bit wide.   
      
   I never claimed that it is good idea on targets with 'unsigned int'   
   that is narrower.
