Thank you! The type name 'idx_t' sounds good, since in most cases it denotes an index (or a bound for an index), and it has the usual _t suffix. > There > were iffy places where it kinda doesn't matter whether one uses > ptrdiff_t or idx_t and where I expect other developers won't bother > about the difference Right. The same situation occurs already with 'int' vs. 'unsigned int': In a number of places it doesn't matter. But in many places it does matter. Bruno
