The precision indicated in the specification is interpreted as a minimum precision.
The precision indicated in the specification is interpreted as a **minimum** precision.
Higher precisions may be used if required by the particular data.
In addition, since valid ASCII text is valid UTF-8-encoded Unicode, ASCII text may be used
where 8-bit Unicode is required. 8-bit Unicode cannot be used where ASCII is required.

.. note::

Prior to version 3.0, ``int`` was synonymous with ``int32``, and ``uint`` was not listed.
