+1, the family of known sizes can be extended. We could even do a
recursive calculation and ask the registered Externalizer for the
specific type; it's unlikely we can have this information returned by
all externalizers but many could be able to handle a fairly accurate
estimate.
I'm not sure I get the "family of known sizes" bit. If you
have storeAsBinary set to true you know exactly the size the size that given object has in
memory. Or are you refering at the situation whre storeAsBinary is set to false?
