So I was wondering, could is(T supertuple == super) be of help here?
Specifically, how many interface vptrs are there in an object? One per
interface? Or are inherited interfaces folded like classes, one vptr per
most-derived interface?
I think this could be made to work if we figure out the details.
It looks to a bit complicated though, since I'm guessing interfaces of
base classes come before members of derived classes. That plus
double.alignof > (void*).alignof on x86 means that to determine
alignment gaps correctly we'd probably need to work from Object up...
I don't feel like coding that right now :(.
