// This API represents memory as a (Pointer, Size) pair. The Pointer component

-// alias if the areas pointed to overlap. If the size is very large (ie, ~0U),
-// then the two pointers alias if they may be pointing to components of the same
-// memory object. Pointers that point to two completely different objects in
-// memory never alias, regardless of the value of the Size component.
