Extra space.

The current best practice is to use unsigned for loop vars that will never 
be negative.

I don't entirely follow what is reasoning behind making it short instead 
of unsigned int?

Is this change minimal if it contains variable renames like this?
Was "i" not "bar" even if it was given as a parameter to 
mask_contains_bar()?

-- 
 i.
