What new feature would you like to see?

A sizeof operator/macro that computes the size of a type at compile time.

What problems would this feature address?

Allocating space on the heap for composite types is currently not easy, since structs can have arbitrary sizes. Estimating the size will become impossible if #6 is implemented.

How do you think this feature should be implemented?

Likely as an operator, but replaced by a numerical constant at compile time.
