I do not recall ever posting that it was a record
type.  Just that it was rejected and that I found
(or my faulty memory says I found) something saying
'Size was non-static.  The same memory does not think
it was a record type.

'Size DOES return a scalar.  Therefore, if the prefix
is static and non-scalar, 4.9 (7) says 'Size on it is
static.  That does not prove no other paragraph says
otherwise.  You say no, and you are a generally reliable
source.  I do not have the time to look for proof that
my memory is not as faulty as you say.  For now, I have
no doubt or uncertainty, and certainly no fear.  So perhaps
FUD is the wrong term.  In any case I still think we should
it and _I_ am doing so.
