  Since there's an access type around, Bit_Vector should be either
"limited" or there should be an Adjust to do a deep copy (or whatever).

  Is it possible for Initialize to be called more than once?  (Say
by an explicit call.)  If so, there should be a Free(Vector.Payload)
before assigning a "new" access value.
