Each argument is used to allocate and initialize a number of

The number of bytes to be allocated and the alignment depend on the type

Strings form an exception, they are to be seen as a sequence of initializers
each for one byte, i.e. strings are not padded with zero bytes.
Switching to another type of fragment or placing a label forces
word-alignment.
There are three types of fragments in global data space: CON, ROM and
