Sure, that has a clear meaning.

So what does this mean? Assume that the Foo object lives on the heap
and has been allocated with extra space after it? Or shall global/automatic
objects of type Foo be allocated with the extra space (like
struct Foo x = { 5, "bob" }; in C would do if the Foo () ... line is
removed?
Something different?
