[Fan: Yes. If the user wants to use the same mempool for both session header
and private data, this elt size can be used to pass the private session data's
size, so the library can create a mempool with big enough elt size. The API
comments of the header file has described that and I will add it to the
programmer's guide]

[Fan: Will do.]
