It's often useful to know the size of a struct. As a bonus, this
implementation also works with all other known types and
expressions. eg:

struct Foo
{
    int x;
}

BEGIN
{
    printf("%d\n", sizeof(struct Foo));
    printf("%d\n", sizeof(1 == 1));
    printf("%d\n", sizeof(((struct Foo)0).x));
}

This closes #73 .

This is stolen from #1268 . Whichever PR goes in second I'll take it out from.

    }
Before, identifiers weren't being pulled in. eg if you used an enum like
this:

    printf("%d\n", SOME_KERNEL_ENUM);

This commit correctly pulls in the identifier. So sizeof can work
correctly.
