> Types are identical to C types, e.g. int is 32 bits

int in C can be anything with at least 16 bits.

That's true. I was mainly trying to indicate there is no boxing or anything like some languages seem to have with their types.

> int is 32 bits with no sign bit or anything like other Lisp implementations do

This seems potentially confusing, since usually "int" just refers to a signed integer of some platform specific size.

Maybe it would be better to say something like, "int is like uint32_t, 32 bits and no sign bit without any additional data"?

Int is not 15 char ?
