Hi,
Are we really adding bools to Query that often? A bit of git-blame says
it's usually multiple years to add a single new flag, which is what I'd
expect. I doubt that'll change.
As for the memory savings, can you quantify how much memory this would save?
I highly doubt that's actually true (or at least measurable). The Query
struct has ~256B, the patch cuts that to ~232B. But we allocate stuff in
power-of-2, so we'll allocate 256B chunk anyway. And we allocate very
few of those objects anyway ...
