+-- Given a message object passed to digiline_send, clean it up into a form

+-- rough estimate of its memory usage).
+--
+-- The cleaning comprises the following:
+-- 1. Functions (and userdata, though user scripts ought not to get hold of
+--    those in the first place) are removed, because they break the model of
+--    Digilines as a network that carries basic data, and they could exfiltrate
+--    references to mutable objects from one Luacontroller to another, allowing
+--    inappropriate high-bandwidth, no-wires communication.
+-- 2. Tables are duplicated because, being mutable, they could otherwise be
+--    modified after the send is complete in order to change what data arrives
+--    at the recipient, perhaps in violation of the previous cleaning rule or
+--    in violation of the message size limit.
+--
+-- The cost indication is only approximate; it’s not a perfect measurement of
+-- the number of bytes of memory used by the message object.
