Comment (by djowel):

 It turns out that this is not as simple as it seems. Fusion interacts with
 MPL more than with std::containers. Changing the size to unsigned has vast
 implications (e.g. we'll have to change at_c and at too. If we do this, in
 the end, we'll have more warnings with MPL.

 If you really want to do this, go ask MPL first. For now, I'm inclined to
 make this a "wontfix" status.
