Good.

Good, also the description.

Thank you for moving the comments up before the fields.

Please note that "/**<" means that the description is related to the field preceding the comment, so it should be replaced by "/**" when moving the description up above a field.

Maybe moving the descriptions as part of this patch was not a good idea after all; it doesn't improve the readability of the patch itself. I regret suggesting it.
If you leave the descriptions at their originals positions (relative to the fields), we can clean up the formatting of the descriptions in a later patch.

Good positioning of the alignas().

I like everything in this patch.

Please fix the descriptions preceding the fields "/**<" -> "/**" or move them back to their location after the fields; then you may add Reviewed-by: Morten Brørup <mb@smartsharesystems.com> to the next version.
