I have no real problems with the patch, but two minor things that could
be handled in a follow-up patch...
1. The copy code for the old function doesn't handle overflow. We've
seen bug reports for this before so should consider the edge cases.
IMHO if a size_t value is larger than MAXINT, then MAXINT (or -1)
should be stored instead of a randomly truncated value.
2. The new documentation makes no mention of the older "compatible"
interface.
