By that argument, a struct object is likewise an ephemeral entity with a backing buffer of bytes, and therefore 'sizeof' of a struct should not include the padding. We'd better stop at that to avoid a philosophical debate. A template returning the desired result will be easy to define after the bugs are fixed. --
