Avoiding the extra copies at first place would be great. In my
understanding the types differ by virtual bases and also by their size
since the fake types are not padded to multiply of their alignment.
I guess this can be tested ahead of producing the copy and saving some
memory...
I am not sure if my C++ FE abilities are on par to implement this tough.
