From H.J. Lu.
// Return a raw pointer to the elements of an array given the array
// and its element type. You might think we could just pick a single
// array type and use elements() on it, but we can't because we must
-// account for alignment of the element type.
+// account for alignment of the element type. When ARRAY is null, we
+// obtain the number of bytes taken by the base part of the array.
