In fact, as your testing has shown, you want SSizeT instead of Int -
maybe some examples on the website/doc need to be adjusted
accordingly :)

It's rofl0r who decided that integer literals should be of type SSizeT
(signed, width depends of the platform) instead of Int (usually 32-bit,
at least 16 bit according to C).
