..in other words, the C++17 version of it needs to be an inline
function that returns std::size of an array,
not a macro. All C++ versions need to be functions, and there should
not be any #defines in any of the
C++ code.
Why should this be array_length and not __array_length? This is a
vendor extension, so it should use
a name that is reserved for such?
