   As someone who isn't super familiar with C++, it strikes me as odd that `struct s1 { int i; char c; char c2; }` is smaller than `struct s2 { char c; int i; char c2; }` :blobcheeky:

   (I assume this is just some internal optimisation of adjacent chars but I don't need to know the details :P)

     @annika if it's any comfort;
     1) you assume correctly,
     2) it's not just C++, last time I checked it was a thing in good ol' C too, and
     3) we C++ programmers seldom care about it either. 😛
