  | |       + 4285 [matz ruby-la] Yes, but the name is not fixed (perhaps String#buffer_size).

  | |         | 4287 [matz ruby-la] Sorry for confusion.

  | |           4292 [matz ruby-la] byte_length/byte_size sound good.
  | |           + 4298 [transami run] If you do then I'm sure we will too :)
