For practical purposes, sizes >= 2^31 are probably indeed irrelevant. However, I think we should distinguish between no size information (which will happen for template classes, for example) and the size being to big. (Then we could show "size >= 2^31 bytes" or something similar in the UI.)

We could use -2 for that case (we have all the negative numbers available), but we should introduce symbolic constants for both -1 and -2 then.
