sqInt attributeSize(sqInt indexNumber)
Parms: indexNumber, negative, positive, or zero.
return: size of string from getAttribute(indexNumber).
From: Interpreter
Why:
To figure out how much space to reserve to later place the attribute in.
Responsibility:
To call getAttribute: and then calculate the string size
To get an attribute we call getAttribute twice, once to get the size, once to get the number, a bit ugly

BUGS
