Hi Tomas,

They can also provide an "under-approximation" (to say the least) e.g.
on reference objects where the entire substance of the object is ignored
which makes object.size() completely meaningless in that case:
setRefClass("A", fields=c(stuff="ANY"))
object.size(new("A", stuff=raw(0))) # 680 bytes
object.size(new("A", stuff=runif(1e8))) # 680 bytes
Why wouldn't object.size() look at the content of environments?
Thanks,
H.
