..> sizeof(function)

I can see the need for this.

I have long wanted (and have promised to come up with a portable standard
for, really, I have) the ability to manipulate code as data.

Eg.
	actsize = compile(string,databuffer,maxsize); 
		/* compile a C language string into databuffer */
	if( actsize <= sizeof(function) )
		codecpyinto(function,databuffer,actsize);
