%
%% STLA_SIZE_FAST determines sizes associated with an STLA file.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This routine assumes that the file is a legal STLA file.
%
%    To perform checks on the file, call STLA_CHECK first.
%
%    Note that the counts for the number of nodes and edges are
%    overestimates, since presumably, most nodes will be defined several
%    times, once for each face they are part of, and most edges will
%    be defined twice.
