## This was size(); seems slightly useful in general

##' Return indices to *permute*  "dissimilarity" / "dist" entries for C (ex-Fortran) code setup
##'
##' Currently always used as:
##'   n <- attr(x, "Size")
##'   dv <- x[lower.to.upper.tri.inds(n)]
##' -->> FIXME: eventually do the above directly in C
##' @param n "Size" = number of objects, underlying the dist/dissimilarity
##' used in  ./agnes.q, ./clara.q,  ./diana.q  und ./pam.q :
##' *somewhat* related to Matrix:::indTri()
