I suggest to rename function Size in Charles to something like
Physical_Size or Phys_Size or Allocation_Size because otherwise
it is *too* confusing as one may use Size by mistake instead of
Length. We need warning on using size. I an future version,
please remove Size.

I even used to write Length or Size at random and grant to the
compiler to warn me if I choose the wrong name! May be not only I.
