I would be pleased if Allegro added an option to obtain the amount
of memory a bitmap or sprite or music or sound resource is
consuming. I.e. a bunch of functions such as:

size_t size_of_bitmap (BITMAP *bmp)

etc.

This would allow easier tracking of memory usage by a program.
Or is this already in there as an undocumented feature?
