Do you regularly order your stack variables? :D

99.99% of cases there are no expectations about details of a `struct` and having to think about it all the time is a PITA. That's a good example how silly defaults in C/C++ are. Just because I might need manual ordering once in a while, does not mean I want to be bothered by it all the time.
