RE: Possible to use multiple Slots

I'm afraid, this type can be omitted by conforming implementation.

shouldn't you just use (u)intptr_t for that job ?

I tried if it worked with a size_t, which is, as far as I understand made for thinks like this (It is 32bit long on a 32bit system, and 64bit on a 64bit system). This works too, but why isn't there Emit-method for a size_t?
