  // The algorithm sketch at this point is as follows.
  //
  // Consider the padding gaps between fixed-offset fields in ascending
  // order.  Let LastEnd be the offset of the first byte following the
  // field before the gap, or 0 if the gap is at the beginning of the
  // structure.  Find the "best" flexible-offset field according to the
  // criteria below.  If no such field exists, proceed to the next gap.
  // Otherwise, add the field at the first properly-aligned offset for
  // that field that is >= LastEnd, then update LastEnd and repeat in
  // order to fill any remaining gap following that field.
  //
  // Next, let LastEnd to be the offset of the first byte following the
  // last fixed-offset field, or 0 if there are no fixed-offset fields.
  // While there are flexible-offset fields remaining, find the "best"
  // flexible-offset field according to the criteria below, add it at
  // the first properly-aligned offset for that field that is >= LastEnd,
  // and update LastEnd to the first byte following the field.
  //
  // The "best" field is chosen by the following criteria, considered
  // strictly in order:
  //
  // - When filling a gap betweeen fields, the field must fit.
  // - A field is preferred if it requires less padding following LastEnd.
  // - A field is preferred if it is more aligned.
  // - A field is preferred if it is larger.
  // - A field is preferred if it appeared earlier in the initial order.
  //
  // Minimizing leading padding is a greedy attempt to avoid padding
  // entirely.  Preferring more-aligned fields is an attempt to eliminate
  // stricter constraints earlier, with the idea that weaker alignment
  // constraints may be resolvable with less padding elsewhere.  These
  // These two rules are sufficient to ensure that we get the optimal
  // layout in the "C-style" case.  Preferring larger fields tends to take
  // better advantage of large gaps and may be more likely to have a size
  // that's a multiple of a useful alignment.  Preferring the initial
  // order may help somewhat with locality but is mostly just a way of
  // ensuring deterministic output.
  //
  // Note that this algorithm does not guarantee a minimal layout.  Picking
  // a larger object greedily may leave a gap that cannot be filled as
  // efficiently.  Unfortunately, solving this perfectly is an NP-complete
  // problem (by reduction from bin-packing: let B_i be the bin sizes and
  // O_j be the object sizes; add fixed-offset fields such that the gaps
  // between them have size B_i, and add flexible-offset fields with
  // alignment 1 and size O_j; if the layout size is equal to the end of
  // the last fixed-layout field, the objects fit in the bins; note that
  // this doesn't even require the complexity of alignment).

  // The implementation below is essentially just an optimized version of
  // scanning the list of remaining fields looking for the best, which
  // would be O(n^2).  In the worst case, it doesn't improve on that.
  // However, in practice it'll just scan the array of alignment bins
  // and consider the first few elements from one or two bins.  The
  // number of bins is bounded by a small constant: alignments are powers
  // of two that are vanishingly unlikely to be over 64 and fairly unlikely
  // to be over 8.  And multiple elements only need to be considered when
  // filling a gap between fixed-offset fields, which doesn't happen very
  // often.  We could use a data structure within bins that optimizes for
  // finding the best-sized match, but it would require allocating memory
  // and copying data, so it's unlikely to be worthwhile.

  // their alignment.  We expect a small enough number of bins that we
