The array query APIs now all do:

  - Return the total number of items
  - Take a start_offset, such that individual items can be fetched
  - The _count IN/OUT variable always has number of items written
    into the array upon return of the function

It's not part of the standard and MSVC doesn't like it.  It makes the code
a lot less elegant than it used to be, but I think it should work now.

Apparetly in C++, inline means a totally different thing.
