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.

The idea was that the getter and setter functions would have the same name. But I like the resize_file name, and will change to that. Thanks, --Beman
