It depends on your perspective. I don't know that either view can be
considered "correct," In fact, it may need to be something that the
programmer chooses. e.g., perhaps:
fp = al_fopen_slice(fp, 0); // unbounded, parent size is not considered
fp = al_fopen_slice(fp, 1 .. UINT_MAX - 1); // bounded
fp = al_fopen_slice(fp, UINT_MAX); // unbounded, parent size is taken
into consideration
