Rename size-t, or rather introduce a meaningful standard alias? (would
vote for Natural)
My bikeshed is painted "native" and "word" :)
...With some "wordsize" around the trim.
Not bad, but how does "wordsize" tell about usage (ordinal=index/position,
cardinal=count/length) and semantics (unsigned)?
"uint" is rather good; actually means about the same as "natural" for me. But
it's a bit cryptic and does not adapt to platform native word size,
unfortunately. I use uint for now to avoid custom, but correct & meaningful,
alias(es) for size_t. (I must have a blockage with using mindless terms like
"size_t" ;-)
