I also fixed all the header names in the standard library docs. That seems to have been a convention back from when people coded with stone tools. Not sure if it's worth fixing in e.g. MFC and ATL. |

Probably not worth touching ATLMFC. |

<limits.h>not LIMITS.H. Use of all capital letter names to refer to headers like this is rampant in the docs, but as a non-owner of this project I don't want to attempt to fix that everywhere. But since I'm editing this page anyway.... :)__int64andunsigned __int64. The other rows all use the standard names, and if users want what these nonstandard ones mean they can refer toint8-int16-int32-int64.md, so I resolved the conflict in favor of using the standard names.
