Regarding Size_In_Storage_Elements ...
as is clear from the RM quote, this is the size that will be requested
from the storage allocator, and may include control words, padding,
alignment bytes etc. It may NOT correspond to the stored size of the
object in memory. In particular, if you use 'Address and assume that
it points to a block of this length that contains data, you may be
surprised, there is no guarantee that this would work, and in general
it will not!
