Maximum amount of elements added per one pointer token.
std::size_t max_created_elements = 1;
When addressing array
elements the number represented
by pointer token can exceed the size of the array. In that case several
elements may be created to satisfy the request. This option limits the
amount of elements that can be added per one pointer token. This can be
important, because in general such operations can be dangerous, since a
relatively small string "/18446744073709551616"
can request all of the machine's memory. For that reason the default value
for this option is 1, that is no more than 1 element can be added per one
pointer token.
