The changelog in patch 1 claimed that v2 was the first version of a new
series.  Which is it?  If you're going to include an inter-version
changelog it should be meaningful, just writing something for the sake
of providing a changelog tends to only cause confusion.

Why is this conditional?  The whole point in returning SIZE_MAX is that
users don't need to care if there's a limit or not, any client logic
checking sizes will always work.

This is at best an assert that the logic in _init() is self-consistent
so just silently returning an error doesn't seem like the right thing to
do, it's going to be super obscure for users.
