As programs tend to have much more scalars then aggregates and probably more scalars w/o properties then with, this would win a lot of precious cache mem.
Fair enough, though there's something just so bizarre about having the cached value be a required part, and the data the cache is supposed to be based on optional... :)
"Hysterical raisins" did Dan write.
Integers and floatvals are stored in the union, which happens to be named "cache", they don't have data. Renaming cache to val would make it more obvious. Strings are attached to data, cache is unused.
