Comment(by nickm):

 If we're going to change the return type of smartlist_len() {or even if
 we're not}, we need to be prepared to audit all 448 places that uses it,
 to make sure it behaves right given an unsigned or a size_t or whatever.

 As a stopgap, perhaps we should just ensure that a smartlist's size can't
 grow larger than INT_MAX ?
