+/* INTERNAL_SIZE_T is the word-size used for internal bookkeeping of
+   chunk sizes.
+
+   The default version is the same as size_t.
+
+   While not strictly necessary, it is best to define this as an
+   unsigned type, even if size_t is a signed type. This may avoid some
+   artificial size limitations on some systems.
+
+   On a 64-bit machine, you may be able to reduce malloc overhead by
+   defining INTERNAL_SIZE_T to be a 32 bit `unsigned int' at the
+   expense of not being able to handle more than 2^32 of malloced
+   space. If this limitation is acceptable, you are encouraged to set
+   this unless you are on a platform requiring 16byte alignments. In
+   this case the alignment requirements turn out to negate any
+   potential advantages of decreasing size_t word size.
+
+   Implementors: Beware of the possible combinations of:
+     - INTERNAL_SIZE_T might be signed or unsigned, might be 32 or 64 bits,
+       and might be the same width as int or as long
+     - size_t might have different width and signedness as INTERNAL_SIZE_T
+     - int and long might be 32 or 64 bits, and might be the same width
+
+   To deal with this, most comparisons and difference computations
+   among INTERNAL_SIZE_Ts should cast them to unsigned long, being
+   aware of the fact that casting an unsigned int to a wider long does
+   not sign-extend. (This also makes checking for negative numbers
+   awkward.) Some of these casts result in harmless compiler warnings
+   on some systems.  */
