It would be nice to hear too what these 32 bit packed integers might
be useful too, even if it is a vague sentence like "These IDs can
be useful to create custom datafile objects for your game". Also,
any note on what happens to 64 bit systems, if anything at all.

Identation.

Since documentation examples don't try to be complete copy&paste
examples, you can avoid the include to reduce lines of text.

Also no need to show main(). Just the identation is enough to
compare against the previous lines that the code here is part of
"some" function. Which allows you to chop off 4 lines more.
