(** * Memory values *)

(** A ``memory value'' is a byte-sized quantity that describes the current
  content of a memory cell.  It can be either:
- a concrete 8-bit integer;
- a byte-sized fragment of an opaque value;
- the special constant [Undef] that represents uninitialized memory.

(** Values stored in memory cells. *)
