I perfectly agree, from an "abstract" point of view.

Yes,  however  the subtle detail we are dealing with may matter in
the  mental  model of, say, a C programmer, who tries to visualize
how this would translate into C structures.

The  difference is that of a pointer versus an "inline" structure.
The  difference  is  that  of blocks being an array of pointers to
values   versus   being   an   array   of  values.  It's  just  an
implementation  detail,  and  probably I shouldn't care at all and
use an implementation-independent terminology, however I see it as
a difference in my head... sorry about that. :-)

Regards,
   Gabriele.
