Well, certainly size_t is unsigned, we all know that, although since you
have to cast it anyway in order to print it you can make it signed.

I suppose I could have spelled out every last detail. But most people seem
to get %d, %u, %ld, and %lu correct. What they don't realize is that the
base type changes, i.e., unsigned int vs unsigned long.

I guess I should have said that.
