I found the POSIX "truncate" name misleading, since on both POSIX and Windows the file can be extended as well as truncated.

Agreed, but why size for a mutating function?  I'd have expected resize_file or similar.

I agree. file_size seems like a query to me, something like resize_file seems more appropriate.
