I am unsure.  On the one hand, all these constants are supposed to be used for
ULONG datatypes, and thus it could be argued they should be UL.

On the other hand, the official pkcs11.h header file doesn't do that.  So, in
order to be compatible, you can not rely on it, and have to cast anyway.

The pkcs11.h file is supposed to be a drop in replacement for the official
header file (at least in CRYPTOKI_COMPAT mode).  It is true that adding the UL
would be backwards compatible, but you will then write code that can not be
backported to the official pkcs11.h without a visible indicator or compiler
warning of that.

Do we really want that?

Do you use the CRYPTOKI_COMPAT mode?

Thanks,
