* The from_xmit routine may not have to allocate any space for the

* provides an instance of the top level of the presented type. In
* this case, for example, s_array points to an instance of a sparse
* array. If the presented type contains any pointers, the from_xmit
* routine needs to allocate space for the referents and the free_inst
* routine needs to free them.
