A subclass of <tt>User</tt> can choose between incorporating its <tt>Use</tt> objects

(some Uses inline others hung off) is impractical and breaks the invariant

We have 2 different layouts in the User (sub)classes:
Layout a)
The Use object(s) are inside (resp. at fixed offset) of the User
object and there are a fixed number of them.

The Use object(s) are referenced by a pointer to an
array from the User object and there may be a variable
number of them.

Since the Use objects will be deprived of the direct pointer to

A bit-encoding in the 2 LSBits of the Use::Prev will allow to find the
start of the User object:
00 --> binary digit 0
01 --> binary digit 1
10 --> stop and calc (s)

To maintain the invariant that the 2 LSBits of each Use** in Use
never change after being set up, setters of Use::Prev must re-tag the
new Use** on every modification. Accordingly getters must strip the
tag bits.
For layout b) instead of the User we will find a pointer (User* with LSBit set).
Following this pointer brings us to the User. A portable trick will ensure
that the first bytes of User (if interpreted as a pointer) will never have
the LSBit set.
