I'm not sure what that is.
Can you give a small example?

struct S
{
    static struct Payload
    {
        //Tons of data here
    }
    Payload* _p;

    //fonctions
}

Ref counted is implemented that way. most of the containers are 
also implemented that way. associative arrays are also 
implemented that way under the hood.
