Isn't our style to use all-caps for macros? I.e., BITSIZEOF?

Perhaps but I'd say similarity between sizeof() and bitsizeof() calls for
consistency in the lowercase in this particular case.

Fair enough. I just wanted to point it out in case nobody thought of it.

I've actually thought of using elemof() to call what is known as
ARRAY_SIZE() when we introduced it, but now it is way _too_ late ;-)
