OK, sorry. Didn't know Wolfgang wasn't a fan of the SZ_ equates. Note that they are not
macros, but defines/equates. No magic, no side-effects (see size.h). I still like them
a whole lot better than x << y or 0x002000, etc. Too easy to use one-too-many (or too-few)
zeroes and get the wrong value. You'll see 'em used in my T30 config files, etc.

Cool. Thanks.
