There is not a function to do this at the moment.  It would be
relatively 
simple to write this function based on the code in _Heap_Walk.  It could
easily calculate items like number free/used blocks, bytes,
minimum/max/avg
of used/free blocks.

The heap code is in c/src/exec/score/src.  _Heap_Walk already loops over 
an entire heap. ALternatively, the _Heap_ALlocate routine also walks
over the heap looking for the first free block of sufficient size. It
might be a good starting point as well.
