Does anyone know why this was "carefully packed" and to what extent

The c++ frontend stores _all_ tokens before starting to parse, so the size
of cp_token is not totally irrelevant. It still might not matter much,
though.
FWIW, Zack hasn't gone away totally (he was just posting about the
explicit_bzero stuff) -- it couldn't hurt to ping him on the
implications of changing the size of that structure.
