+ * If an existing object has size S, and if T is sufficiently small
+   (e.g., 8 KiB), then S + T cannot overflow.  Overflow in this case
+   would mean that the rest of your program fits into T bytes, which

  * Objects with all bits zero are treated as 0 or NULL.  For example,
    memset (A, 0, sizeof A) initializes an array A of pointers to NULL.
