Next version of the same patchset. Object size is shrinking now, at least for the one compiler I tested. And a few kernel hackers met on a frozen lake in hell with pigs flying overhead and could actually agree on a name. While I am sure almost every reader will still disagree and have one or two better suggestions, I would like to use this historical moment.
