I think this is great.

Pointer sized integer normal use is array indexing and should be labeled as such. "int" make think wrongly, this is the natural type for integer computation.

Both Issue #14758 <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14758> (Specify that int and uint are at least 32 bits on every CPU architecture) and Issue #9940 <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/9940> (rename `int` and `uint` to `intptr`/`uintptr`) call for RFCs.

So RFC https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/161 summarizes those discussions, explains the core issue of code portability to CPUs with smaller address spaces, conceptions and misconceptions about int/uint, what's a "default" integer type, and proposals including coding style for integer sizing.

Let me know what you think.
