  This is not guaranteed by the standard. This has the drawback
  that the subtraction of pointers may be wrong in some rare cases.
  So, for very specific applications, there might be a good reason
  to have sizeof(ptrdiff_t) > sizeof(size_t).

Interesting, but fortunately not relevant to the GMP issue we're
discussing.
