At least you can tell there's a difference in number of letters.
ssize_t x;
size_t y;
Besides, ssize_t is a widely accepted standard type, while size_s (well,
and sizediff_t too) is something imagined from nowhere.
You think "iff" is crap only because you don't know the word. Without
knowing what the meaning of 'size_s' is, it is as crappy as 'ssize_t'.

Yeah, keep that alias to yourself. I only oppose pushing it to object.d
to make it a de jure standard.
