I knew this applies to structs and the context makes that
plainly clear, but the word "object" is a bit ambiguous: does
this apply to classes too?
And object is an instantiation of a class. I guess it could be
ambiguous but generally I think object = class(misnomer but
simple). Structs can exist on the heap and be very similar to
objects and I suppose it is possible to allocate classes on the
stack so theoretically I guess it is ambiguous but in programming
parlance it is not.
