True object size

I'm trying to find out the actual size of a custom (or Foundation) object in terms of the bytes, in effect, allowing something like the following:

@interface SomeObject : NSObject {
	NSString *someString;
	NSData *someData;
	NSNumber *someNumber;
}

@end

To where if I did a [Sizer sizeOf:someObject]; it would return to me the number of bytes that the someObject would represent if you were to write it out to disk or the network (verbatim).

Obviously, sizeof() is out, but I'm wondering if there's any "straightforward" means of finding out the size on the stack that any given instantiated object is taking up, any runtime methods I can call, etc?
