The C language doesn't have integer literals.  C has string
literals, and compound literals, and it has integer constants.
But C does not have integer literals.

True, but C++ does, and it means the same thing by "integer literal"
that C means by "integer constant". C doesn't define the term "integer
literal" with any conflicting meaning, and my use of the C++ terminology
allowed me to make the parallel with string literals clearer, so I don't
see any particular problem with my choice of words.
