I mostly meant this quite literally, if you include `clang/lib/Headers/stdint.h` without `__STDC_HOSTED__` set, you will literally get the header I have copied here. This is the behavior when compiling with `-ffreestanding` for this header, which means that there is no behavioral change at least for `clang`.

Yeah, likely should be added. My original intention was to provide this in the install without using it internally. I personally don't think there is a large benefit to using it internally because `stdint.h` is pretty well defined with `-ffreestanding` enabled like we use now.
