Comment (by anevilyak):
Replying to [comment:10 bonefish]:
> I'd keep it as is for containers like BList and BMessage where the
maximum element count is fixed. In the array case it certainly doesn't
harm to have the info still available, but the label should indeed be
renamed. Ideally to something that indicates that this isn't fixed, maybe
"Current bounds".
Sounds reasonable. One last question though: Should we perhaps draw a
distinction between native vs casted arrays when deciding whether or not
to enforce the bounds? Since, for instance, if the source declares {{{ int
x[5];}}}, then we know for a fact that the array bounds are 0-4 there, and
it doesn't really make sense to allow arbitrary expansion beyond that,
whereas with the case where a pointer has been casted to an array by the
user, this information isn't present.

Good, will commit that part later tonight then.
