Jim Baker <zyasoft@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
In our reading, this is implementation dependent. The actual size is now
1 byte (since we can play tricks with the underlying storage of
signed/unsigned), however, if we were to use itemsize=1, this causes
other code to fail because outside of the storage size, it can only be
properly be manipulated as a 2-byte short.
