  Here:

function alloc_low(atom amount)
-- allocates some amount of low memory and returns { segment, offset }
  atom lmem
  lmem = allocate_low(amount)
  return { floor(lmem / #10000), and_bits(lmem, #FFFF) }
end function

Use the Euphoria match function, but peek out the memory block first:
   match(some_seq, peek({some_mem, mem_size}))
