Such a statement is technically correct but amazingly pedantic in a world where there is legacy code in other languages, crufty old D code from before there was a 64-bit compiler to test it on, and the need to optimize storage sometimes, but not too many billion element arrays. If anyone has *ever in their entire life* worked with an array with over 2 billion elements (which would demonstrate that the unsafeness isn't purely theoretical), please speak up.
I do work with arrays over 2 billion elements. But my point is simpler: I don't need to prove anything - you need to prove that working with size_t aggravates you, and very frequently.
