  What should I do? I can implement this, but since `size()` would be have
to be called as opposed to simply accessing the member (this already
happens, since a proxy function is used due to the specialization for zero
size, but it only returns the member each time so it is easily inlined), as
Andrey mentioned this may not be cache friendly.
