/**********************************************************************
* Object Layouts.
*
* Layouts are used by the garbage collector to identify references from
* the object to other objects.
* 
* Layout information is in the form of a '\0' terminated byte string. 
* Each byte contains a word skip count in the high nibble and a
* consecutive references count in the low nibble. Counts that exceed 15 are
* continued in the succeeding byte with a zero in the opposite nibble. 
* Objects that should be scanned conservatively will have a NULL layout.
* Objects that have no references have a empty byte string.
*
* Example;
* 
*   For a class with pointers at offsets 4,12, 16, 32-128
*   the layout is { 0x11, 0x12, 0x3f, 0x0a, 0x00 } or
*       skip 1 - 1 reference (4)
*       skip 1 - 2 references (12, 16)
*       skip 3 - 15 references (32-88)
*       no skip - 10 references (92-128)
*       end
