Review comment:
       I believe the goal was for `nbytes` to use `get_referenced_buffer_size` 
and for the old `nbytes` behavior to become a new method.
   
   Note: this was not what was said in the JIRA, but based on comments, I think 
it is what we wanted.  I have updated the description in the JIRA to be more 
clear on this.
