I appreciate the Misra-invoked desire to add U suffixes where
otherwise (visual) ambiguities may exist. But on numbers like
0 or 1, and when use of e.g. resulting #define-s doesn't require
the constants to be of unsigned type, I view such suffixes purely
as clutter. In the specific case I might go as far as questioning
why, when U is added, L isn't added as well, to "support" the
size_t result aspect also from the "width of type" perspective.
