If there isn't strong opposition to do it in incremental way,
I'd prefer for these patches go in first.

And then later fix users of visit_type_size() to use type_suffixed_int() or
maybe have a new type_suffixed_uint() so that size could be represented as
uint64_t instead of int64_t as it's now. That would require to
rewrite strtosz_* and its callers a bit.
