Imagine a person coming here asking for SIZE not being sent to the server. We
then would need a way to do that. Another day someone else comes asking for
some other command to be inhibited.

I think I'd prefer something simpler. Perhaps like:

   "SIZE:" to disable or

   "SIZE:MYONWSIZECOMMAND" to replace it

But of course, supporting disabling or replacing _any_ command in the FTP code
might require more code than this is worth...
