oi.disk_size is off_t; do we know "long long" 

   (1) is available widely enough (I think it is from c99)?

   (2) is sufficiently wide so that we can safely cast off_t to?

   (3) will stay to be sufficiently wide as machines get larger
       together with standard types like off_t in the future?

I'd rather use intmax_t (as off_t is a signed integral type) so that
we do not have to worry about these questions in the first place.

This is not a suggestion but is a genuine question, but I wonder if
two years down the road somebody who meets this API for the first
time find the asymmetry between "objectsize" and "objectsize:disk" a
tad strange and suggest the former to have "objectsize:real" or some
synonym.  Or we can consider "objectsize" the primary thing (hence
needing no colon-plus-modifier to clarify what kind of size we are
asking) and leave these two deliberatly asymmetric.  I am leaning
towards the latter myself.
