Review Response
This interpretation does not reference any test failures or provide any
test results which suggests that this is not currently causing a problem
with the test suites or with applications.

The change would only affect systems where the size_t type is set to a value
different from int, in which case there is the possibility of truncation on
assignment from the structure element to/from the function argument. It is
not believed that this is likely to be an issue on 32 bit systems, but is
likely to be an issue with 64 bit systems where it is more likely that the
sizes of int and size_t would differ.

The change certainly seems sensible, but this is really in the province of the
Base working group to provide a recommendation. I would suggest that this is
forwarded for a 14 day review.
