Why? It does exactly what it says on the tin! It might not be that nice,
but it does describe what it does - and noone yet has come up with
anything less ambiguous or misleading imho.

Aside from the fact that's a change to the API that we had settled on,
it doesn't solve the actual problem of needing a suitable name for a
function that returns the size of a table /or/ index. pg_relation_size()
or pg_table_size() can't be used for precisely the reason they were
rejected for that purpose in the first place.
