I was also (initially) convinced to go for ssize_t.
But the reason given above +  the fact that I could not find the equivalent 
of add_setshow_zinteger_cmd for an ssize_t made me believe an int was
good enough.
For sure, if such an equivalent exists, it will be trivial to change to ssize_t.
Without such an equivalent, there will be some more work
to define e.g. add_setshow_zssize_t_cmd.

I assume there will be some other comments (maybe related to ssize_t).
I will update NEWS together with handling the other comments.

Thanks again for the review.

Philippe
