@Sirraide Thank you for these suggestions. I applied these in 

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/106321/commits/0c9c62b60d7d602b87aa3bb612d1240cc70f470b

I realized while doing this that

* The existing note in my PR about where the `__counted_by` attribute could be declared could be replaced by the new diagnostic that suggests using `__sized_by` instead.
* The existing note in my PR about where the incomplete type is declared could be replaced with the new diagnostic that suggests completing type.

The means that the number of notes we emit has not actually increased between my original patch and this new one which is nice. So overall I think this is a really nice clean up so thank's for suggesting it.
