Refining that a bit: we could provide the size field only when
MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING and/or CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY are defined.
That would leave us with GenerationRealloc and GenerationGetChunkSpace
not being supportable operations, but I wonder how much we need either.
BTW, shouldn't GenerationCheck be ifdef'd out if MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING
isn't set? aset.c does things that way.
