[Qgis-developer] Bug in symbol size data-defined override

I agree - a rename to "size assistant" or "sizing assistant" would be 
useful. In my opinion, the new solution is not harder to find than the 
old solution - which was pretty hard to find and even more disconnected 
to the actual symbol than the new solution. I agree, it is still a bit 
hidden, but it belongs to the expression - that's why the current 
solution isn't bad.
