Perhaps during this work, it would be beneficial to enable gcc's -
Wshorten-64-to-32 warning?  Alas, last I checked, the warning exists
only in Apple's fork of gcc.  I imaging Windows compilers have a similar
option.  This warning would warn on the following for example:

unsigned int size = sizeof (foo);

If you're going to change the size/type of many variables, it seems like
the time.

We could provide an experimental nightly with this on.
