In this particular case (getting the size of each object in the global
environment) you can also do:

eapply(.GlobalEnv, object.size)
# or eapply(.GlobalEnv, object.size, all.names=TRUE) , see ?eapply

Eapply applies a function (here:object.size) to every object in an
environment; with `sapply` you first use ls() to get the names of all
objects as a character vector, and then you need `get` because you probably
want the sizes of objects themselves, not their names -- so it can't be
just  sapply(ls(), object.size) .
