Question about size() and length() of lists (newbie question)

I noticed that size() and length() treat lists
differently.  I can imagine that this is
desired behavior but I thought I'd ask. 

Octave >> version
ans = 2.1.31
Octave >> l=list('a','b','c')
l =
(
  [1] = a
  [2] = b
  [3] = c
)
Octave >> length(l)
ans = 3
Octave >> size(l)
ans =
 
        -1        -1             

Regards,

Doug
