because `stat` isnt portable :(. it isnt part of the POSIX standard ... OS X
certainly does not support this, and i imagine most *BSD's dont.
`wc -c` on the other hand should work everywhere and is part of POSIX.
looking at the `strace` output, the GNU wc doesnt actually read() the file
when using just the -c option. seems to use lseek(SEEK_END).
