/** 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)
