Even size_t is often

I don't know how that could be considered C standard compliant.
I don't know about you, but I very rarely get to work with a C compiler that is
'standards compliant'.. that concept is kinda like a cruel joke in my
experience. Does one even exist? :)
The C99 Standard sez:
"The types are ptrdiff_t which is the signed integer type of the result of
subtracting two pointers; size_t which is the unsigned integer type of the
result of the sizeof operator;"
I don't know of any excuse for getting this wrong.
