As Pedro agreed, forgot to add

@Pedro feel free to change to UINT8 on push nevertheless. :)

Say, you get an arbitrarily long buffer from a caller, its size parameter should probably be UINTN, to be able to optimally leverage the platform memory and be flexible. This is not a buffer size, this is a bounded index of an architecture-agnostic data structure. I simply do not want behaviour that depends on the host architecture in architecture-agnostic code for no reason. We actually had multiple prior examples of bugs due to this, though this is obviously fine (thus not demanding it's changed).
