Curious.  The top objection to the usual macro solution is given as:

  * double-evaluation of e.g. getting the size of the 1-d part of a 2-d
    array int meow[3][4]; /* ... */ SIZE_KEYWORD(meow[first_idx()]);

Does the author not know that there is no evaluation of the operands of
sizeof in this example?

His "About" pages says "Project Editor for ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG14 -
Programming Languages, C".
