nit: there should be no newline between these

My tolerance for this is going WAY down, it seems it's all just busy-
work, and then everyone complains and I need to handle "urgent fixes"
because of it etc.

I'm having severe second thoughts about ever having accepted the
__counted_by annotations, I think we should just revert it. Experiment
failed, we found ... that the code is fine but constantly needs changes
to make the checkers happy.
