But compared to the example code in the article this void_buffer would be significantly more difficult to write and/or use, more verbose and less readable due to fragmentation into multiple classes, and (in view of future evolutions of the code) also less general.

1. It would be no more difficult to write and use than the larger class. After all, you can use the larger class as a void_buffer with some dummy extra fields.
2. You can put the class in a detail_ sub-namespace, or make it an inner class of ObjectType, and then people will avoid using it in other, general contexts.
