While there may be an alias in object.d, I'd say it's purpose is 
purely cosmetic (and to prevent missing symbol errors).  It is 
the compiler that decides what types size_t, ptrdiff_t have.  And 
while there are targets where word and pointer sizes are 
different, GDC does not honour this however, as the D 
specification on these types (and D_LP64) trumps that.
