Mmmh, interesting, I hadn't thought about verifying what defined the __WORDSIZE. I assumed wrongly that it was set by standard but it seems not. 

I replicated your example on my machine to see the intersection of what is defined by both GCC and clang. Do you know if we would need to check any other compilers?

I can integrate the changes and write an explanation as a commit message and submit a new version tomorrow, would that work for you?
