What bearing does exporting a function have on whether it should check
for NULL?

Given that this function returns size_t, it can't return an error
number. So what value would it return if "pool" were NULL? It can
only return a positive integer or zero.

Also, the argument should be const as the function doesn't modify the
contents of "pool".
