I think the next (or current - I've lost track) version of C++ has an idx_t type which is an unsigned int of some sort, which will be the recommended type for for loops.

I don't see a reference to "idx_t" anywhere in the latest draft of the C++ standard.

Yep, I can't find anything either - I thought I read it four or five years ago in an interview with someone big in the C++ community.
