what size should an empty object be?

[Adam Sherwood]

Should empty objects be of size 0? Maybe in some contexts that won't even work.

Example

type
  Empty = object
  Wrapper*[K, V] = object
    node*: (K, V)
echo sizeof(Empty)
echo sizeof(Wrapper[uint8, Empty])

Actual Output

1
2

Expected Output

0
1

It's possible to implement empty objects/tuples/arrays having a size of 0, but I personally don't think it's worth the added compiler/language complexity.
