Essentially, we always require bounds on the array size, so if you
only specify one of minItems or maxItems it's implied to be a fixed
size. IOW, you only have to specify both if you have a variable number
of items. Also, note that an 'items' list implies the exact size. Both
of these are not the default behavior for json-schema.

Hope that helps.
