If you migrate your projct from x86 to x64,you will find the

'int' is easy to write,and most people are used to it.
Most importantly easier to migrate code,if 'length''s return
value type is 'int'.
Thank you all.
This is a weird thing to argue.
just because an int is good enough for you does not mean that it
is the best thing for all people.
