/** Base class for simple binary blobs.
 *  Item is byte.
 *  The word 'simple' means:
 *    - no configurable allocator type (always made from heap)
 *    - no smart deallocation - deallocation must be called from the same
 *        module (DLL) where the blob was allocated
 *    - no configurable allocation policy (how big blocks should be allocated)
 *    - no extra ownership policy (i.e. 'copy on write') when blob is copied
 *    - no thread synchronization at all
 *
 *  Internal member layout:
 *  1. The only class member is pointer to the first item (see union ptr_u).
 *  2. Allocated block contains the blob header (see CHdr) followed by the raw byte data.
 *     Always, when it allocates memory the allocated size is:
 *                                                      sizeof(CHdr) + <data capacity>
 *  3. Two 'virtual' members (m_size and m_max_size) are stored in the CHdr at beginning
 *     of the alloated block.
 *  4. The pointter (in ptr_u) pobsize_ts behind the header (to the first data byte).
 *     When memory block is allocated, the sizeof(CHdr) it added to it.
 *  5. Benefits of this layout:
 *     - items are accessed in the simplest possible way - just dereferencing the pointer,
 *       which is good for performance (assuming that data are accessed most often).
 *     - sizeof(blob) is the same as the size of any other pointer
 *  6. Drawbacks of this layout:
 *     - the fact, that pointer to the alocated block is adjusted by sizeof(CHdr) before
 *       it is stored can lead to several confusions:
 *         - it is not common pattern so the implementation code is bit harder to read
 *         - valgrind can generate warning that allocated block is lost (not accessible)
