Note: This ensures there's always enough memory for one element, which allows array
indices to be clamped to the length of the array resulting in an in-memory access.
1. If |T| is a [=runtime-sized=] buffer, then
1. Find all `bufferView` and `bufferArrayView` built-in function calls where the buffer
variable is the originating variable for the pointer argument.
Let the template parameter be |RT|.
1. Return the maximum value of [$MinTypeSize$](|RT|) among all the calls.

Note: This ensures there's always enough memory for a minimally sized |RT| (with `offset`=0).
1. Return [$SizeOf$](|T|).
