Hi, nice idea.
Some questions/remarks I had while reading:

1. If I understand correctly, as soon as you add `layout:` in a class
definition, you _must_ list all non-static member objects. Correct?
2. I infer that two classes with the same name in the same namespace with
the same members but different layouts leads to a compilation error.
Am I correct?
3. In my humble opinion, the alignment should be part of the layout as it
is directly related.
4. Could you add examples of ABI maintenance while evolving a class? I can
see how but I think it would be useful in the paper.
5. How would that impact classes with virtual function members? Should the
implementation of the virtual calls (through v-table usually)_ be ignored
and be implementation-defined? Or should it be visible in the layout
section?
