    BlockContexts represent the stack context objects of blocks.
    The layout is the same as for other contexts - this class has been added
    to avoid a flag in an instance variable.
    (has become necessary with cheap blocks, which have no home).

    WARNING: layout and size known by compiler and runtime system -
	     do not change.
