Log:
Perhaps smaller than long, perhaps larger than long,
let's let ~ bit flipping work this out for us.
I don't suppose it is possible that any platform exists with a signed size_t?

That would violate K&R all the way through POSIX 99 C, so it's an edge case we should simply ignore. ssize_t is a little more modern, but still almost
20 years old.


IIRC, size_t started with ANSI... IN K&R, there was no real
size_t; sizeof() returned, basically, an "integer constant",
and stdlib.h was an ANSI addition...
