Plans to reduce object header size

[mcpiroman]

As far as I know, in .NET objects of classes have 12 byte header, similarly to JVM.
Now, the OpenJDK started a project Lilliput aiming to reduce the header size to 8 or 4 bytes.
Was maybe an analogous feature considered for .NET?

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.
