I won't repeat Bruce's reply to you, but as an FYI, the reason Bruce
suggested pg_dbfile_size over the nicer pg_file_size is that our
instrumentation patch includes that particular function, which does
accept a filename (provided it's under $PGDATA or the log directory).
Dbfile was meant to indicate it's a database related file, rather than
some arbitrary filename.
