   > That said, there is nothing preventing somebody from using this interface 
in their own way and making it refer to off heap as well.
   
   Agreeed.
   
   The reason why I thought it's good to clarify is that there's data 
structures that may use heap and off-heap memory, in which case it is not 
always clear what `ramBytesUsed` should report on. This can lead to 
inconsistencies and difficulties interpreting sizing.
   
   A concrete example: completion FSTs. They moved a few versions ago from 
on-heap to off-heap. Their accounting reflects that. Some folks may wonder if 
this is expected, or whether the reporting is inaccurate.
