       Has anyone come up with a simpler, cleaner byte-based quota system than
       that in the LambdaCore?

    FYI there has been some simplification in the measurement task in the
    most recent lambdacore.  Plus a little more documentation.  Though the
    overall structure is the same.

       Is .object_size really nessecary anymore? And how much of the code on
       $quota_utils is or could be now obsolete, with object_bytes()?

    It depends.  If you have an object which is 18meg, you don't want to
    use object_bytes() on it with any regularity.  Sure, for some bare
    $thing it's no problem, but you get screwed to the wall with scheduler
    discrimination if you measure large things.
