uintptr_t doesn't guarantee what we need either. It only guarantees 
void* -> intptr_t -> void* conversion, but we also need 'intptr_t -> 
void* -> intptr_t'. The man page (stdint.h) doesn't say that intptr_t 
has to be the same width as pointers. It could be 128bits and gcc would 
still throw a warning.

But if that's considered a non-issue, I'll change the code.
