So this one I'm _still_ not convinced about. It makes yet another name
for something we've had before, which just annoys me. And maybe it's
the 13-year old in me, but "sizeof_member()" just makes me go "that's
puerile".

I _can_ see why we'd want to standardize on one of the tree versions
we have, but I can't really see the problem with the existing #define
that we have, and that is used (admittedly not all that much):
sizeof_field().
