I was not very impressed to be honest. His argument is that this 
is an error, but really this isn't or people wouldn't be that mad 
at undefined behavior. He rejected plateform defined behavior on 
ground that aren't very solid. That would solve the shift problem 
very nicely.

His argument about indices was also weak as it tells more about 
the need to use size_t rather than 32 bits indices when doing 
indices computation.
