`ssize_t` is bit of an exotic type. by POSIX, it's only guaranteed to be

in practice).
by default `ctrl+u` will call `insert()` with `-cursor` which can be
lesser than `-1`. so just use `long` instead which doesn't have such
issues.
Could also use ptrdiff_t[0], although very likely long and ptrdiff_t are
the same type.

The true-branch of this ternary would already have type ptrdiff_t, as it
is a substraction of pointers.
