+// The FX_ArraySize(arr) macro returns the # of elements in an array arr.
+// The expression is a compile-time constant, and therefore can be
+// used in defining new arrays, for example.  If you use FX_ArraySize on
+// a pointer by mistake, you will get a compile-time error.
+//
+// One caveat is that FX_ArraySize() doesn't accept any array of an
+// anonymous type or a type defined inside a function.
