Now you came up with something else: PAGE_SIZE as a variable instead of
a constant create lots of unneccessary code, especially in complex
expressions that otherwise could be optimized away by the compiler.
What is the reason to have it as a variable instead of a constant?
Can there ever be a benefit from this?
