<pre>r280420 changed WebAssembly's size_t and friends on wasm32 to be unsigned int.
This is convenient at present because it matches the asm.js ABI.
However, it is worth considering changing size_t back to unsigned long before
it comes time to stablize the ABI. An advantage of this is that it makes most
mangled names consistent between wasm32 and wasm64. For example, operator new
would be "_Znwm" in both, rather than "_Znwj" in wasm32 and "_Znwm" in wasm64,
which is convenient for tools that work with lists of symbol names.</pre>
