Can you redo the patch while keeping the slot position (though not the name or type)? The wasted space is minimal (4-8 bytes per type or class object) and it means a lot for third party code if the positional struct initialization never breaks due to insertion or removal of a slot. Since everyone has a zero here anyway, I propose to name the slot nb_reserved and make its type int.

initialization never breaks due to insertion or removal of a slot.
