That would call __dtor, but wouldn't it also screw up the garbage collector or allocator?  Since the bytes would be located at offset 0 in the struct, wouldn't it try to free the same memory twice?

Also I'm guessing there's no viable solution to the constructor problem, besides a mandatory member function. Which kills a lot of the elegance this type of construct would create
