It may just work to have w8, w16, wf8, and wf16 all resolve to BARE
unconditionally, as the default promitions for variadic functions
force these all to be passed as int. In the current code, for h and hh
prefixes we cast down and discard any high bits, but unless the caller
invoked UB by passing an argument with mismatched type, the cast is
guaranteed not to change the value.
