Hi,

Agreed on the general idea, quite interesting indeed, thanks for sharing.

Isn't there a space cost as well ? First the way you did you require
one more byte for each object (why by the way?) which means that each
"fwd" in a sequence will have something like 7 bytes of padding after
it when compiling for 64 bit systems.
Hopefully there aren't any alignment problems when using "fwd" but I
am not expert enough to be sure, have you considered it ?

Regards,

Julien
