Your commit fca8300f68fe3 changed it from __dynamic_array() to __array()
and __string() seems to be just a special version of __dynamic_array()
with a length of -1.

In the commit description you wrote: "Since the size of the name is at
most 16 bytes (defined by IFNAMSIZ), it is not worth spending the effort
to determine the size of the string."

Thanks,
Thorsten
