  I disagree.  Sizeof is definitely NOT a function.  It is a builtin
of the C language, but it is not and could not be written as a function
(well...), just as return is definitely not a function.  The rules for
sizeof are a little peculiar though -- as to when parentheses are required
and when they aren't.  (For instance, though most people say
   return(0);
the statement
   return 0;
is just as legal.)  Sizeof sometimes requires the parentheses.
