You're also free to add the following to your code:

If you feel it improves your code, go for it.

I *almost* wish I could say:

alias size_t int;

I know I wrote this before, but I can't hold back now *g*. I use:

alias size_t ℕ;

I think on the move to 64-bit, the native machine word data type (which was uint de facto), got left behind a little. size_t is not a keyword and it has an _ in its name. I don't know why _ type names look so odd to me. It feels like using some very *special* type, not meant for every day use. So I went for ℕ bound to AltGr+N in private code.
