size_t isnt usize and usize isnt size_t (at least on Macos) about bitwise HOT 2 OPEN

Not reproduced on Windows, where it seems we have:

typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;
typedef unsigned __int64 size_t;

Ah well. I think that usize = uint64 is kind of the correct answer, and that the long/int/short C integer zoo is messy.

Maybe usize can stay purely uint64 and builtins could simply have a c_size synonymous with size_t.

from bitwise.

I tested the idea of having a c_size, it creates some friction, as now size_t and the return value of sizeof are not anymore synonymous.
