What we try to do is to to match the type of size_t on the system;
for 64-bit platforms, that isn't really a problem ... size_t will
be 'unsigned long', but on 32-bit platforms it could either by
'unsigned int' or 'unsigned long'.
(Matching the type prevents certain warnings when passing a size_t
to a function expecting a gsize or vice-versa.)
So, the most accurate definition you could give is
'typedef gsize size_t', except that glib.h does *not* include
stddef.h so it's not literally that in the header files.
