   - Set *FULL to non-zero if VALUE already contains the complete
     run-time object, not just some embedded base class of the object.
   - Set *TOP and *USING_ENC to indicate where the enclosing object
     starts relative to VALUE:
     - If *USING_ENC is zero, then *TOP is the offset from the start
       of the complete object to the start of the embedded subobject
       VALUE represents.  In other words, the enclosing object starts
       at VALUE_ADDR (VALUE) + VALUE_OFFSET (VALUE) +
       VALUE_EMBEDDED_OFFSET (VALUE) + *TOP
     - If *USING_ENC is non-zero, then *TOP is the offset from the
       address of the complete object to the enclosing object stored
       in VALUE.  In other words, the enclosing object starts at
       VALUE_ADDR (VALUE) + VALUE_OFFSET (VALUE) + *TOP.
     If VALUE's type and enclosing type are the same, then these two
