size_t = unsigned some_integral_type.  On systems where int is 16 bits, size_t
might be 128 bits although the limit might be 2**64 instead of 2**128.  On
systems where int is 64 bits, size_t might be 32 bits.  If you want to know
the limit on your machine, you have to RTFM.  Calculations will not tell you.
