According to Joshua Pritikin:
But isn't this the whole point of moving the C++? We will more easily be
able to do multiple implementations for similar interfaces?
That's a decision we could reach. But my opinion is that, as a first
principle, separating data and metadata results in a better design.
And I can't believe that an efficient RE implementation is possible
without the RE engine knowing whether metadata are inline or not.
