Set the tablesize option

Synopsis
settablesizeoption(tablesizeoption)

Description
When listing a table, it can be told if and how its size is shown. The size can be shown in bytes (which is the total of the table and all its subtables). The size can also be shown as the shape (number of columns and rows) of the table. For a table containing an image, the image shape is shown. Showing the sizes means that it takes a bit longer to show all the tables in the listing.

This function sets this option (valid options are no, bytes and shape). If an invalid option is given, it is set to no. It can also be set from the GUI.

The initial state can be set from the .aipsrc file:

catalog.tablesizeoption: 	no
