Agreed. Mostly just because of my lack of imagination when I added them a long time ago.

We have over recent times updated several public option related defines to better help applications to get int vs long right, but I have clearly missed to do that for this particular set.

I intend to fix this omission, but since you want to support building with lots of old curl versions as well, this correction probably won't help you for another decade or so... :-)
