I tend to agree with Giles on this point.  A non-integral representation
of off_t is theoretically possible but I don't believe it exists in
practice.  Before going far out of our way to allow it, we should first
require some evidence that it's needed on a supported or
likely-to-be-supported platform.

time_t isn't guaranteed to be an integral type either if you read the
oldest docs about it ... but no one believes that in practice ...
