I am now prepared a set of 14 __sizeof__ patches (should it be one issue or 14

Without tests how can you have any confidence the patches are correct (or will
continue to be correct)?
Tests may not provide this. If we add a new dynamically allocated data
or change the size of the old and forgot to reflect this in __sizeof__,
then non modified tests not notice this. __sizeof__ returns 42. What is 42?
