Suggestion from Paul, split from issue 43:
Perhaps for 1.4 we can look at providing facilities for users (library
implementers in particular) to perform address arithmetic? They might, for
instance, pass a (shared void *), the block size, the element size, and an
integral increment and return a (shared void *). A PTS subtraction routine
which takes blocksize and elemsize arguments would probably also be required.
