You can tell it is right or wrong if you expect the length to be N and you
see it is not N. That is useful whenever you might use M-= instead, as I
said. It is useful when you might use M-= but you are selecting with the
mouse, not the keyboard.

Yes. And when it is entirely visible and you are interested in the size and
know what size to expect - which means reading minds in a `cond' or `if'
;-).
