        !             5: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             6: The procedure \*MSize(x)\fR produces the
        !             7: size, in bytes, of \*Mx\fR.
        !             8: .PP
        !             9: There is an optional second argument, which specifies the machine
        !            10: word size, in bits. For example, \*MSize(x,\*b16)\fR produces the
        !            11: size of \*Mx\fR on a 16-bit machine. Only word sizes of 16 and 32
        !            12: are supported; the default, in the absence of the second argument,
        !            13: is 32.
        !            14: .SH CAVEATS
        !            15: The sizes given are approximate for many objects. The following
        !            16: interpretations are made in determining sizes:
        !            17: .IP "" .2i
        !            18: Strings are counted as distinct; no allowance is made for shared
        !            19: usage of storage.
        !            20: .IP
        !            21: The size of procedures may be underestimated.
        !            22: .IP
        !            23: The size of co-expressions is approximate and does not take into
        !            24: account space for the local identifiers and related information.
        !            25: .IP
        !            26: The size of lists that are augmented by stack and queue functions
        !            27: may be underestimated.
        !            28: .IP
        !            29: Sizes are based on parameters as given in the Icon system as it
        !            30: is distributed; local changes may affect the sizes of some objects.
