Ah, I was viewing an old v2.0.2 ref.pdf document. I see the newer
ref.pdf (Table 3.2) is now different and clearly mentions that
Cardinal is always a 32bit type (LongWord). I'll make sure I delete
all old FPC pdf documents lying around to not make that mistake again.

So if I want to use a unsigned integer (pointer) type and be correct
on each platform, must I use the ValUInt type instead? See my
GetMem/FreeMem thread for an example.
