> We could reduce the footprint of object and list by storing `VariantMetadata` by reference instead of by value. But if we shrink `VariantMetadata` that would only save 16 bytes while complicating the user surface with additional lifetime management worries. Actually,`&VariantMetadata` is a thin pointer, so storing a reference would save 24 bytes (32 => 8 bytes). Combining that with the previously suggested changes would reduce `VariantList` and `VariantObject` to 40 bytes each. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
