While it does what I want, it's not exactly ideal. I just want a 
general-purpose native-size signed integer. ptrdiff_t sounds like it 
must have something to do with pointers, which is not what I want my API 
to look like. I could alias ptrdiff_t to isize_t, but then that defeats 
the purpose right there. Do you think that it would be a big deal to add 
an alias ptrdiff_t isize_t; to object.di?
