iam not happy about this one either, to see why, just try to form a
english sentence with it
the size of an array (in bytes?)
the length of an array (in bytes?)
the count of arrays

what my problem is with the suggestions is just that they subtetly mean
something ambigous or wrong compared to what they actually are.

i think
entry/item/element/cell count/of/in

are maybe better choices

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
