The parser for metavariables is not so smart.  Everything to the left of
the first metavariable name is the type.  Everything after is the list of
metavariables of that type.  So if you put them together you require size
to be a pointer.

On the other hand, do you really require E to be a pointer?  If you do
that, it will have to find the type of E.  If E refers to a structure
field, then the type might not be available in the current function, and
you may need command line argments like --all-includes or
--recursive-includes.  Is avoiding transforming the case where E is not
verified to be a pointer a concern?
