Ultimately I don't care, I suspect the prior commitment to size_t and ptrdiff_t
can not be changed (although redefining their meaning would not be a breaking
change, it just might show some cases of inappropriate usages)
I agree that nativeInt should probably be in the standard library, but I'm
really not into that name. It's really long and ugly. That said, I basically
hate size_t too, it doesn't seem very D-ish, reeks of C mischief... and C stuffs
up those types so much. It's not dependable what they actually mean in C (ie.
ptr size/native word size) on all compilers I've come in contact with :/

I really think that simply adding c_int and c_uint to core.stdc.config will solve the issue. After all, is there any case where the corresponding C int type would be different from a nativeInt?
