Could you define "doesn't work"?  An example with the expected and
actual output might show what's happening.

I just ran some simple tests and relation_size() correctly showed
the on-disk size of the file that stores the index.  Are you expecting
something different?  Or have you found a case where relation_size()
returns the wrong value?
