Thanks very much Jonathan.  It seems surprising that no direct function
of row size measurement has appeared in Oracle over the years.  When I
was discussing our chained (really migrated) rows issue with support,
they were initially prompting me to "just increase PCTFREE".  Well,
OK... but by how much?  One definitely needs a method.
