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.
That's confusing, as ℕ usually is *any* number > 0 (or sometimes >= 0),
so it's more like bigint (with a restriction to positive numbers) than
size_t.
(Also none-ascii chars in code outside of strings is bad IMHO)
