Conceptually I agree and have already been looking at this.  But in
practice I'm still on the fence.

I'm fairly unhappy with the APIs we're using here and the inconsistency
in what nonstr means in terms of the return value from various
functions.   We see this when we start layering the warnings on top of
the trunk (which has the 87053 fix).  In some cases we want nonstr to
force the function to return an "I don't know value, typically
NULL_TREE", but in other cases we really want the function to still
return the length and let the caller decide what to do about the
termination problem.

It doesn't help that we also have memsize as well.

Rationalizing the APIs here is likely going to be a prereq to move forward.
