Responding to:

> I meant the full struct size should include the FAM part that is specified by __counted_by(7), but not more than that (e.g., &s->fam[13]).

So `s->fam[13]` access should fail, of course. And so we use `__bdos(p->array, 1)` to get the size of the FAM. It can then be checked against this index. There is code however that passes in the struct pointer itself to `__bdos(p, 1)`. In those cases, we also add in the struct size. The assumption is that the user really did mean to calculate the full size (struct + fam). Before this feature, that `__bdos` call would return `-1`. Now it can return something that allows for better array access checking.
