Yes, I meant the size of the reg prop. As this is an example, I think it
should be as clear as possible.
I guess a valid use case here is to set the size to larger-than-needed,
so that it gets preallocated and you don't need to worry about getting
the memory later when the system has already been running for a longer
time. But if that's the case in this example, I think it would be better
to describe it explicitly.
