Subject: [boost] [TypeSort] Automatic type sorting

Hello,Is there any interest in a library which automatically sorts types from smallest to largest at compile time?The benefit would be the automatic Data Structure Alignment and potential improvement in performance.Foo<int,bool,Custom16ByteType,char,double,short> foo_1; //normal
Foo<int,bool,Custom16ByteType,char,double,short> foo_2; //using the TypeSort
output:
size of foo_1 = 48
size of foo_2 = 32 Kind Regards,
Constantinos
