I visited that link today to see what is an C++ equivalent of guint - I
was certain it was unsigned int. Seems I was wrong. :) And I don't
disagree - I don't mind if convention is guint or unsigned int. Just
curious. So, if this is a convention I could look for any unsigned ints
in public API and make a patch - I have some free time now.
