Geoff,
I appreciate your reply, and I had not noticed that text at the
beginning of the section. On the other hand, I still think it would be
useful to include the CX shading on the mentioned entries. The C
standard refers to limits.h as "Sizes of integer types", and I think
where there is overlap, namely in the "Numerical Limits" subsection of
the POSIX description, the shading would be appropriate.
Thank you,
Hal
