size_t + ptrdiff_t

All the type sizes vary in broken ways in C. The only sane way
to port C structs to D is to use c_<type> that has the size of the
C compiler in the target platform.

If there is a single C compiler has a different sized size_t
than D's, then one has achieved nothing with the c_int, c_long, etc.

So that is why it'd be nice, in my opinion, to have c_size_t
(and c_ssize_t) if we are going to have c_int, c_long, etc.


Sorry for requesting things though!! I still don't know my way
around here.
