Rename size-t, or rather introduce a meaningful standard alias? (would

Maybe ptrint and ptruint?
If ptr means pointer, then it's wrong: size-t is used for more than
that, I guess. Strangely enough, while "size" may suggest it, .length
does not return a size_t but an uint.
ptr prefix shows that int/uint depends on CPU word (32/64 bit), i.e.
they have the same size as pointer. However, it may led to confusion,
which type - signed or unsigned - is right for the job.
