Yes, the motivation of “less difficulty of programming against generic
collections” is good enough.

I feel it does. Things shouldn’t be generic “just because we can”. Swift has
made a fairly firm recommendation on integer sizes and signedness, and that
should continue into index distances in collections.

C++ often has a difference_type in its containers, but hardly anyone uses that
correctly (size_t vs difference_type).

Quick glance.
