   Yes, that is a bit annoying, although it does correspond to "classic"
   Elisp naming.  I personally prefer Scheme style "file-attribute->size".

In any case the container is not a single attribute but a set, so to
be excruciatingly correct, the name ought to be ‘file-attributes-size’
(or ‘file-attributes->size’), which is even less pleasant.  :-/
