This is probably a better name, but potentially more easily confused with byval.

As far as switching to just the raw number, I think there's value in being consistent with the other growing family of type-carrying parameter attributes but I don't really care about the type itself. I don't understand inalloca/preallocated well enough to know if those should also really only carry a size.
