## Message

```
Deprecate `suggestVectorSize` in favor of `suggestVectorLength`

The function returns the vector length, not the byte size of the vector or the bit size of individual elements. This distinction is very important and some usages of this function in the stdlib operated under these incorrect assumptions.
