You could always add:

COMPILE_OPT DEFINT32

to the top of your routine definitions. It would be nice if you could
do it once for an entire class or package of routines, but I think
each routine requires it. You could always @include it, for easy
change later. For me, LOGICAL_PREDICATE would also be a good
addition. I just can't bring myself to stick it at the top of every
routine. I suppose I could change my IDLWAVE templates to include
the correct incantations...
