Memory usage report

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

A reoccurring question people have is "where is Emacs using memory now,
then?"

This can't be reported accurately, really, but...  does Emacs already
have a command that tries to visualise this for users?  There's

(garbage-collect)
=>
((conses 16 6833300 570188)
 (symbols 48 43826 42)
 (strings 32 599007 230739)
 (string-bytes 1 57524636)
 (vectors 16 77428)
 (vector-slots 8 2510954 524038)
 (floats 8 6607 6143)
 (intervals 56 1505503 18066)
 (buffers 992 207))

but that leaves a lot out, and isn't very user friendly.
