Here is what I recommend that we do.  In the short term, i.e.,
within the context of the topic in question, let's use 'int' to
match the type used to count the members of an array embedded in
'struct ref_array'.

But let's leave a '#leftoverbits' note here in the mailing list
archive to remind us to revisit the idea of consistently using
'size_t' to count things when things are quiet.  This is not the
time to needlessly disrupt the 'hn/branch-delete-merged' topic, I
think.

Yep, agreed on all points.
