[RFC][PATCH 1/4] break up string_get_size()

[Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

I started to break up string_get_size() in to some pieces
so that I could pick and choose which bits I wanted.  I
ended up not re-using this function.  But, I think this
still stands by itself since it makes the code much more
self-explanatory.
