Even size_t is often broken in C. I have worked on 64bit systems with 32bit pointers where size_t was still 64bit, but ptrdiff_t was 32bit (I think PS3 is like this, but maybe my memory fails me)
I don't know how that could be considered C standard compliant.
I want to be confident when I declare a numeric type that can interact with pointers, and also when I want the native type.
I think you're probably best off for now by doing your own alias for it.
