What is virtual origin? Somewhere there has to be a way to reach the block
from users code if one is to use it. Is is a pointer into the interior of
an allocated block rather than to the start of the block? If so, at least
Boehms GC has no problems with it and Great Circle can probably handle
interior pointers too.
