+// The following two classes are used to represent 'sizes' and 'offsets' in the VM;
+// they serve as 'unit' types. ByteSize is used for sizes measured in bytes, while
+// WordSize is used for sizes measured in machine words (i.e., 32bit or 64bit words
+// depending on platform).
+//
+// The classes are defined with friend functions operating on them instead of member
+// functions so that they (the classes) can be re-#define'd to int types in optimized
+// mode. This allows full type checking and maximum safety in debug mode, and full
+// optimizations (constant folding) and zero overhead (time and space wise) in the
+// optimized build (some compilers do not optimize one-element value classes but
+// instead create an object in memory - thus the overhead may be significant).
+//
+// Note: 1) DO NOT add new overloaded friend functions that do not have a unique function
+//          function name but require signature types for resolution. This will not work
+//          in optimized mode as both, ByteSize and WordSize are mapped to the same type
+//          and thus the distinction would not be possible anymore (=> compiler errors).
+//
+//       2) DO NOT add non-static member functions as they cannot be mapped so something
+//          compilable in the optimized build. Static member functions could be added
+//          but require a corresponding class definition in the optimized build.
+//
+// These classes should help doing a transition from (currently) word-size based offsets
+// to byte-size based offsets in the VM (this will be important if we desire to pack
+// objects more densely in the VM for 64bit machines). Such a transition should proceed
+// in two steps to minimize the risk of introducing hard-to-find bugs:
+//
+// a) first transition the whole VM into a form where all sizes are strongly typed
+// b) change all WordSize's to ByteSize's where desired and fix the compilation errors
