///   - constructors and destructors return 'this';
///   - guard variables are smaller;
///   - inline functions are never key functions;

///   - constructor/destructor signatures.

///   - guard variables are 32-bit on wasm32, as in ARM;
///   - unused bits of guard variables are reserved, as in ARM;
///   - inline functions are never key functions, as in ARM;
