Jim.J.Jewett asked me to replaced "max_size" with "peak_size". It looks like Linux also uses the term "peak" for /proc/pid/status (or sometimes "High Water Mark").

See attached patch.

@neologix: I would like your opinion first, because you accepted the PEP.

Well, I'm not a native speaker, but "peak" does sound better than
"max" (I'd say the later refers to an externally-enforced limit,
contrarily to the former).

So the change looks fine, although:
"""
`(size: int, peak_size: int)``
"""

Would maybe be better with:
"""
`(current: int, peak: int)``
"""

no?

yes, I also prefer "current" over "size".
