Nonsense!  Not only can you not avoid (int)s, which are the inherent type
of several things in the language, but (int) is usually the fastest data
type with 16 or more bits in any implementation.  If you just need to hold
a modest count, (int) is the best choice.  Also note that many library
functions require (int) arguments.
