It could, but it isn't.
Remember that int8_t etc. are from C.

By the way, if they were, there could be a more or less serious 
performance hit depending on the implementation.
Structures/classes are not handled the same way as primitive types in 
most ABIs for example I think. Which is quite a shame, by the way.
