I see it in the Git codebase. I don't have the Linux source available
at the moment, but since it is involved with the same kind of crowd,
I consider it likely that they use it as well.
Even in Emacs, we have OBARRAY_SIZE defined as a member count rather
than a byte count (there is no other "ARRAY_SIZE" string in Emacs so
far).
Can't be that confusing to people.
