Vadim, I had the same misunderstanding at one time,
so perhaps I can clarify:
The 'Size attribute, even though "static" in nature
much of the time is officially defined as non-static
in the RM, and therefore not allowed where a "static"
value is required.
In other words, compilers are required to pretend
that they don't know the value of 'Size at compile
time. Sometimes the value is known, sometimes not,
so it's simpler to pretend it's always unknown.
