+- The attributes ``sized_by``, ``counted_by_or_null`` and ``sized_by_or_null```
+ have been added as variants on ``counted_by``, each with slightly different semantics.
+ ``sized_by`` takes a byte size parameter instead of an element count, allowing pointees
+ with unknown size. The ``counted_by_or_null`` and ``sized_by_or_null`` variants are equivalent
+ to their base variants, except the pointer can be null regardless of count/size value.

Hmm yeah there's nothing preventing you from assigning null I guess, but I don't believe `__bdos` CG has any support for returning 0 when the pointer is null.
