Eeek. You need to be careful with that -- IOStream and it's  
subclasses are rather fundamental. I think your changes will break 64  
bit platforms as CollectInBufferStream hasn't had all it's function  
signatures changed int to size_t.

I deliberately used int for sizes in IOStream functions, as I thought  
these frequently used functions should use arithmetic on the most  
natural integer size for the platform.

But maybe my time as an assembly language programmer are distorting  
my view of reality in theses days when a VM is seen as a good plan.

Anyway, that's the reason for using that type for sizes.
