Note that these are all post 0.5.9.

Well, we finally have that now. Nothing has now changed since 0.5.9
(returning UINT32) except perhaps for fixing the addons to return the
proper type; and I can't honestly remember why we changed it to INT32
instead of UINT32 because it's clear that would break ABI. Sorry for the
