 * A pointer tag used for wrapping and unwrapping `CppHeap` pointers as used

 * `v8::Object::Unwrap()`.
 *
 * The CppHeapPointers use a range-based type checking scheme, where on access
 * to a pointer, the actual type of the pointer is checked to be within a
 * specified range of types. This allows supporting type hierarchies, where a
 * type check for a supertype must succeed for any subtype.
 *
 * The tag is currently in practice limited to 15 bits since it needs to fit
 * together with a marking bit into the unused parts of a pointer.

   * The lower type ids are reserved for the embedder to assign. For that, the
   * main requirement is that all (transitive) child classes of a given parent
   * class have type ids in the same range, and that there are no unrelated
   * types in that range. For example, given the following type hierarchy:
   *
   *          A     F
   *         / \
   *        B   E
   *       / \
   *      C   D
   *
   * a potential type id assignment that satistifes these requirements is
   * {C: 0, D: 1, B: 2, A: 3, E: 4, F: 5}. With that, the type check for type A
   * would check for the range [0, 4], while the check for B would check range
   * [0, 2], and for F it would simply check [5, 5].
   *
   * In addition, there is an option for performance tweaks: if the size of the
   * type range corresponding to a supertype is a power of two and starts at a
   * power of two (e.g. [0x100, 0x13f]), then the compiler can often optimize
   * the type check to use even fewer instructions (essentially replace a AND +
   * SUB with a single AND).
