Summary:
changelog: [internal]

Prevents 2 type converions:
1. int <-> size_t
2. int <-> int32_t

# Why is using size_t better when working with indexes.

## 1. Type conversion isn't for free.

Take this example

```
size_t calculate(int number) {
  return number + 1;
}
```

It generates following assembly (generated with armv8-a clang 10.0.0):

```
calculate(int):                          // calculate(int)
sub     sp, sp, microsoft#16                     // =16
str     w0, [sp, microsoft#12]
ldr     w8, [sp, microsoft#12]
add     w9, w8, #1                      // =1
mov     w8, w9
sxtw    x0, w8
add     sp, sp, microsoft#16                     // =16
ret
```

That's 9 instructions.

If we get rid of type conversion:

```
size_t calculate(size_t number) {
  return number + 1;
}
```

Assembly (generated with armv8-a clang 10.0.0):

```
calculate(unsigned long):                          // calculate(unsigned long)
sub     sp, sp, microsoft#16             // =16
str     x0, [sp, microsoft#8]
ldr     x8, [sp, microsoft#8]
add     x0, x8, #1              // =1
add     sp, sp, microsoft#16             // =16
ret
```

Compiler now produces only 7 instructions.

## Semantics

When using int for indexing, the type doesn't say much. By using `size_t`, just by looking at the type, it gives the reader more information about where it is coming from.
