After further thought it seems to me that this is a desirable approach,
because it is a direct check of the property we want, and will complain
about *any* mistake that results in too-large struct sizes. The other
ideas that were kicked around upthread still left a lot of ways to mess up
the array size calculations, for instance referencing the wrong array
element type in the sizeof calculation. So unless anyone has a concrete
objection, I'll go put in something like this along with Mark's fix.
