\section{PEP 353: Using ssize_t as the index type}
A wide-ranging change to Python's C API, using a new
\ctype{Py_ssize_t} type definition instead of \ctype{int},
will permit the interpreter to handle more data on 64-bit platforms.
This change doesn't affect Python's capacity on 32-bit platforms.
This section will be expanded in future alpha releases.
