Good grief!  I am getting very tired of this.  You can think of sizeof as
a function if you want to, and you can think of it as not being a function
if you want to.  For some purposes (I haven't noticed any purpose in the
discussion so far) one is more useful; for others, the other is.

Now will everybody please SHUT UP about the subject?
