this function is listed in the buffer docs and in abstract.h, but there is no implementation anywhere.

Even though it's documented, the function is probably a new feature
and should go into 3.4.

Meanwhile, you can call struct.calcsize(format). Any non-trivial
implementation of PyBuffer_SizeFromFormat() would likely do the same.
