Perhaps it's faster that way due to some caching effect. Or perhaps 
it's to be able to have static constant string objects in the readonly 
segments.

Apple could always change their mind and add another field for the 
reference count. The Modern runtime has non-fragile classes, so you can 
change the base class layout breaking ABI compatibility.
