You could lay out the memory inside of one another. IE: if
a.ptr = 1 then b.ptr = 6. I'm not sure if this has been done
and I don't think it would apply very often but it would be
kinda cool.
I thought of this because I wanted to pre-generate
hex-representations of some numbers I realized I could use half
the memory if I nested them. (At least I think it would be
half).

I'm pretty sure this is called string pooling.
