I kind of like having it via one path so that there is no confusion
for the reader, but up to you on this one.  The function called is trivial
(other than some magic to handle very large memory regions) so
this is just a readability question, not a perf one.

Whatever, don't leave the question behind.  Find to have something
that says they are always the same size if you don't get rid
of the total_capacity representation.
