Example from docs:
struct f1 { int x; int y[]; } f1 = { 1, { 2, 3, 4 } };
Currently sizeof(f1) == sizeof(int) rather than 4*sizeof(int), i.e.
sizeof the object is determined by the type only, not the actual object
size taking into account its initializer. If this is intentional the
docs could benefit from clarification, as otherwise it's natural to
want to use sizeof to find out how big the object actually ended up as.
