If you've ever worked on a template that needs to index a

you should use to index an RA range?
Forgive my ignorance. What's wrong with size_t?
This is what happens when you use size_t:

Then don't create ranges that use ushort for indexing and length.
There's no need to.
To be clear, I'm suggesting that all random access ranges should
use size_t, and they will not be random access ranges if they use
anything else. Unless someone can give a compelling reason not to
do this, I cannot see anything but benefits.
