The current API where the plain size is exposed is not of much
use - in most cases it is allocated dynamically anyway.

If allocated e.g. on the stack via an uint8_t array, there's no
guarantee that the struct's members are aligned properly (unless
the array is overallocated and the opaque pointer within it
manually aligned to some unspecified alignment).
