 398         So why do we have all these overloaded operator[]s? A bit of history:
 399         initially there was only one of them, taking size_t. Then people
 400         started complaining because they wanted to use ints as indices (I
 401         wonder why) and compilers were giving warnings about it, so we had to
 402         add the operator[](int). Then it became apparent that you couldn't
 403         write str[0] any longer because there was ambiguity between two
 404         overloads and so you now had to write str[0u] (or, of course, use the
 405         explicit casts to either int or size_t but nobody did this).
 406
 407         Finally, someone decided to compile wxWin on an Alpha machine and got
 408         a surprize: str[0u] didn't compile there because it is of type
 409         unsigned int and size_t is unsigned _long_ on Alpha and so there was
 410         ambiguity between converting uint to int or ulong. To fix this one we
 411         now add operator[](uint) for the machines where size_t is not already
 412         the same as unsigned int - hopefully this fixes the problem (for some
 413         time)
 414
 415         The only real fix is, of course, to remove all versions but the one
 416         taking size_t...
