I think we want to preserve ABI compatibility, even if that's suboptimal
for performance in some way.  The ABI already has a definition of "POD
for purpose of layout"; we should check that it still means what it
defines the same set of types that it did before.  And, check that
POD-ness doesn't appear elsewhere in the ABI.  (I couldn't find any
other places with a quick check.)
