`*__builtin_counted_by_ref(ptr->array[idx]) = size;` doesn't work because the builtin requires a pointer to the FAM. (If you meant `&ptr->array[idx]`, that does work.)

I don't have any use case for `&ptr->array` or the like. I just don't want to be overly restrictive on what's considered a valid argument to the builtin. I think I'll do a comparison with gcc's version and see what they accept. We can match them.
