Things are a little trickier when inheritance is involved. Every sub-class needs to have its own implementation of <tt>SizeOfExcludingThis</tt>. | Things are a little trickier when inheritance is involved.

* The <tt>NS_MUST_OVERRIDE</tt> is an annotation that indicates that this function must be overridden by any sub-classes. It's used by some static analysis tools. Currently these tools aren't running, but they might in the future, and it's a useful piece of documentation. | * The <tt>NS_MUST_OVERRIDE</tt> is an annotation that indicates that this function must be overridden by any sub-classes.
