/// Measure the layouted size of content.
///
/// The `measure` function lets you determine the layouted size of content.
/// Note that an infinite space is assumed, therefore the measured height/width
/// may not necessarily match the final height/width of the measured content.
/// If you want to measure in the current layout dimensions, you can combined
/// `measure` and [`layout`]($func/layout).
///
/// The same content can have a different size depending on the styles that
/// are active when it is layouted. For example, in the example below
/// `[#content]` is of course bigger when we increase the font size.
///
/// ```example
/// #let content = [Hello!]
/// #content
/// #set text(14pt)
/// #content
/// ```
///
/// To do a meaningful measurement, you therefore first need to retrieve the
/// active styles with the [`style`]($func/style) function. You can then pass
/// them to the `measure` function.
///
/// ```example
/// #let thing(body) = style(styles => {
/// let size = measure(body, styles)
/// [Width of "#body" is #size.width]
/// })
///
/// #thing[Hey] \
/// #thing[Welcome]
/// ```
///
/// The measure function returns a dictionary with the entries `width` and
/// `height`, both of type [`length`]($type/length).
///
/// Display: Measure
/// Category: layout
/// Returns: dictionary
#[func]
