(** * Memory extensions *)
(**  A store [m2] extends a store [m1] if [m2] can be obtained from [m1] by increasing the sizes of the memory blocks of [m1] (decreasing the low bounds, increasing the high bounds), and replacing some of the [Vundef] values stored in [m1] by more defined values stored in [m2] at the same locations. *)
