                      4: Size \- size of Icon object
                      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.
