I played with that but didn't like the temporary results (e.g. having to
export find_memory_block_by_id()). I'll stick to this for now.

1. I kept the existing behavior (setting it to 0) for now. I am planning
to eventually remove the section count completely (it could be
beneficial to detect removing of partially populated memory blocks).

2. Reverse order: We would have to start with "block_id - 1", I don't
like that better.

Thanks for having a look!
