Description
A list of enhancements which can be done for empty (zero-size) mixins:
- All empty mixins can share the same part of the object mixin buffer
- Empty external with no allocator makes no sense (error?)
- Empty with alignment makes no sense (error?)
- Empty external with allocator can be used to create variable-sized instances of a mixin (useful?)
However empty mixins are expected to be quite rare. Is the effort to do any of these worth it?
