Line 33:

*The internal alignment of data members is not unique to the C struct. There is an analogous dynamic that also "works as expected" concerning subclassing in C++. That said it is very interesting that even if a C compiler is run "unaligned" it will always align (don't say "pad"?) struct members ''inside'' the struct, guaranteeing this manipulation by a sub-struct of quantity N-last elements manipulating its containing struct of N elements.

Salient internals for our lead section are the '''size''' (as mentioned), and the method of '''chaining''' the members of a C struct to one another.
