> Strict final instance fields are not subject to concurrent writes during a read access, so they can be flattened even if they are nullable and bigger than 64 bits. The NULLABLE_NON_ATOMIC_FLAT layout is added for this particular case.
> This new layout can also be used in the special case of nullable empty value classes, because their payload contains a single entry, the null-marker, which is naturally atomic.
