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
