Sorry to burst your bubble, but 


rpm -qa --queryformat "%-10{SIZE} %{NAME}\n"

is faster and shorter to type. You probably feel now like I felt when I
wrote I very neat (if I do say so) little Perl one-line to output a sequence
of numbers in answer to someone's question, and somebody else mentioned that
/usr/bin/seq was an easier option :-)
