LGTM! Do we need any UI-side changes so that the Environment pane reports something reasonable for these objects (when in Grid view)? |

Yikes! I guess we weren't ever really exercising this code path before?

We were not! As far as I can tell this method was never used before.

We just report them as having no size -- the same thing we do for other "don't touch" objects (active bindings, uneval'ed promises, etc.) |

Gotcha. I think that's fine. |

Currently, ALTREP objects (new in R 3.5.0) are fully materialized by RStudio's environment pane, since it calls
object.size()on them. This change protects these objects from premature evaluation by avoiding the environment pane's size/length inspection on objects with thealtflag set (indicating an ALTREP).Note that this does not protect the objects from any type of materialization at all; the first few elements will still be materialized by
str(), which we continue to call.Fixes #4171.
