 404         So why do we have all these overloaded operator[]s? A bit of history:
 405         initially there was only one of them, taking size_t. Then people
 406         started complaining because they wanted to use ints as indices (I
 407         wonder why) and compilers were giving warnings about it, so we had to
 408         add the operator[](int). Then it became apparent that you couldn't
 409         write str[0] any longer because there was ambiguity between two
 410         overloads and so you now had to write str[0u] (or, of course, use the
 411         explicit casts to either int or size_t but nobody did this).
 412
 413         Finally, someone decided to compile wxWin on an Alpha machine and got
 414         a surprize: str[0u] didn't compile there because it is of type
 415         unsigned int and size_t is unsigned _long_ on Alpha and so there was
 416         ambiguity between converting uint to int or ulong. To fix this one we
 417         now add operator[](uint) for the machines where size_t is not already
 418         the same as unsigned int - hopefully this fixes the problem (for some
 419         time)
 420
 421         The only real fix is, of course, to remove all versions but the one
 422         taking size_t...
