+1 to both pg_size_bytes() and ::bytesize. Both contribute to making the statements more self-documenting.
The function seems like overkill to me if we have the type. Just my opinion though. I'm thinking the type could just be called 'size' too (or prettysize?). No reason it has to be tied to bytes (in particular this would work for bits too).
If we're going to add this, I suppose it should support the 'i prefixes' too (GiB, MiB, etc).
