I think this has been discussed several times already. I'm sure there have
been long discussions about it on ACC at least.

I'm not so sure. Have you tried if this is true?
A lot of the blitting code is hand-optimized assembly. It may not react
properly if you change the define to an int.

I don't think we want to change this for 4.2. Maybe for 4.3 when the
graphics subsystem is going to be changed anyway.
Depending on what others think. Personally, I'm pretty much indifferent to
this feature...
