is it actually just estimating (i.e. taking a guess) of how many bits were needed, or is it actually computing a definitive amount of output bits?
Also, I would prefer to call it 'estimate_ownly' or 'determine_bits_only'. Or even something like 'dry_run', which is used a lot in command-line arguments to indicate that it will not actually perform the operation.
