 *   unit: the size of a payload item in bytes. 
 *   extra: 0 or 1. 1 indicates that the payload contains 1 more
 *          item than the value of the size field. mostly used for a 
 *          terminating null in a variable-char object.
 *   kernel: 0 or 1. indicates that the object is a kernel object.
 *           VM disallows layout changes of a kernel object.
 *   moved: 0 or 1. used by GC.
 *
 * _size: the number of payload items in an object.
 *        it doesn't include the header size.
 * 
 * The total number of bytes occupied by an object can be calculated
 * with this fomula:
 *    sizeof(stix_obj_t) + ALIGN((size + extra) * unit), sizeof(stix_oop_t))
 * 
 * The ALIGN() macro is used above since allocation adjusts the payload
 * size to a multiple of sizeof(stix_oop_t). it assumes that sizeof(stix_obj_t)
 * is a multiple of sizeof(stix_oop_t). See the STIX_BYTESOF() macro.
 * 
 * Due to the header structure, an object can only contain items of
 * homogeneous data types in the payload. 
 *
 * It's actually possible to split the size field into 2. For example,
 * the upper half contains the number of oops and the lower half contains
 * the number of bytes/chars. This way, a variable-byte class or a variable-char
 * class can have normal instance variables. On the contrary, the actual byte
 * size calculation and the access to the payload fields become more complex. 
 * Therefore, i've dropped the idea.
