The compiler is right to complain about that of course. Admittedly
"std::size_type" is a mouthful to type but can be typedef'd into something
shorter. Fwiw, I use "sd::sdSiz" - not too unwieldy in headers and in code
can often be subject to "using namespace sd" and just "sdSiz" usage. Perhaps
the author would be amenable to a change along those lines? Fwiw, "-W -Wall
-Werror" (and -ansi/-pedantic if applicable) are worthwhile goals to persue
(imho).

"sd" prefix is my main machine name (couldn't think of anything better at
the time plus it's short) ;-)
