I find such a rejection surprising once more.

I am curious on how our different views could be clarified further
for this special software situation.
* Do we agree that a proper size determination is essential for every
condition in the discussed SmPL rules together with forwarding
this information?
* How can a name be ever relevant (within the published SmPL approach)
for a function when it was designed in the way that it should generally
work without a size parameter?
Regards,
Markus
