Clearly size_t (which I tend to alias with ℕ in my code for
brevity and coolness) can express more than 2^31-1 items, which
is appropriate to reflect the increase in usable memory per
application on 64-bit platforms. Yes, the 64-bit version of a
program or library can handle larger data sets. Just like it

I known it.

but if you compile the dfl Library to 64 bit,you will find error:

core.sys.windows.windows.WaitForMultipleObjects(uint nCount,void** lpHandles,....) is not callable using argument types(ulong,void**,...)

the 'WaitForMultipleObjects' Function is in dmd2/src/druntime/src/core/sys/windows/windows.d

the argument of first is dfl's value ,it come from a 'length' ,it's type is size_t,now it is 'ulong' on 64 bit.

So druntime must keep the same as  phobos for size_t.
