Note that the above great start is not actually DWARF-based - it's just
symbol-table based.  We might want to do a few things extra:

- rename to symsize (since that's what it does)

- throw an error if the address can't be resolved to a known symbol, instead of
returning a sentinel -1

- having a user-space variant usymsize() that passes 'current' as the last
parameter to the underlying lookup function
