I prefer strlen() myself but Tom prefers sizeof(). In the long run I
would like to create a 'sizeof' that doesn't include the null as a
global define that we can use for any hard-coded string. I have not
thought of a name yet and it would be for 8.1. I count perhaps 84
places it could be used:

$ rgrepc 'sizeof.*- \?1'|wc -l
84
