Supposedly pointer + size allows better codegen on some compilers. The 
fact that it was designed like so by people from LLVM which have a 
ridiculously important focus on performance of their data structures (to 
the point of mostly rewriting the whole STL with slightly different 
algorithms better tuned to their use cases) is to be taken into 
consideration.
