Could the `memoryLayout` functions just return `(size: Int, alignment: Int,
spacing: Int)` tuples? It's hard to tell because it goes into Builtin land, but
I get the impression that these values are calculated at compile time anyway,
and if you only used one of them the optimizer could throw the others away.
