Integer conversions too pedantic in 64-bit

Sometimes I think we should troll the users a little and make
a release with names like so:

alias size_t
TypeUsedForArraySizes_Indexes_AndOtherRelatedTasksThatNeedAnUnsignedMachineSizeWord;

alias ptrdiff_t
TypeUsedForDifferencesBetweenPointers_ThatIs_ASignedMachineSizeWordAlsoUsableForOffsets;

alias iota lazyRangeThatGoesFromStartToFinishByTheGivenStepAmount;


Cash money says everyone would be demanding an emergency release with
shorter names. We'd argue for months about it... and probably settle
back where we started.
