It looks like `core.stdc.config.cpp_size_t` is supposed to be used to get the correct size and mangling on all platforms. The compiler specially recognizes `__c_long` and a couple of more symbols related to C and C++ interoperability, see [1] for all of them.

I'm not sure how what you're saying relates to size_t?
I notice that when I use size_t in code, the type seems to be lost; is it just
an alias for a sized integer? It needs to retain the fact that it was specified
as size_t in the AST somehow.
