I believe the question is not why only flexible array members are allowed the 
attribute, but why only incomplete arrays are. Some old projects use this as 
syntax as incomplete array:
```
struct S {
  int len;
  char fam[0];
};
```

Would converting the above to an incomplete array like this be an issue in 
those projects? It seems to me that if you're introducing `__counted_by`, 
removing any old integer constant isn't much more extra work.
```
struct S {
  int len;
  char fam[__counted_by(len)];
};
```

The reason is that a complete array already has a bound, which we use for 
bounds checking with `-fbounds-safety` enabled. In fact, an array parameter 
like this will decay into a `int * __counted_by(len)` pointer:
```
void foo(int len, int arr[len]);
```

If you allow annotating these arrays with `__counted_by` also, you effectively 
end up with two separate sources of bounds info.
