Off_t vs. off_t vs. int

Perl_pp_sysread uses int for its offset argument. PerlIO uses Off_t for
offsets. Should Perl_pp_sysread use Off_t as well? isn't int too small for
reading with large file supporting systems?
Off_t is alised to off_t, but off_t is not in the typemap. should it be in the
typemap and be mapped to T_NV?
Also the typemap defines:
size_t T_UV
ssize_t T_IV
again aren't they too small for large filesystems? and should be T_NV?
The typemap doesn't containt entries for Size_t and SSize_t used by perlio. is
it safe to assume that size == Size?
