[issue16192] ctypes - documentation example

The very beginning of the ctypes documentation has documentation to that effect:

"Note: Some code samples reference the ctypes c_int type. This type is an alias for the c_long type on 32-bit systems. So, you should not be confused if c_long is printed if you would expect c_int — they are actually the same type."

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ctypes.html#ctypes-tutorial

Does that address your suggestion?
