OK thanks for the help Tom.

I will standardize on that coding style then, since we 
traditionally (and want to continue to) define LHS word 
lengths independently from RHS word lengths.

We of course will take advantage of Fixed-Point Toolbox's 
ability to warn of overflows, and this coding style does 
allow that.
