If a C++ class includes a typedef, then that doesn't contribute to the class's footprint. Even the explicit self parameter is not so different. In C++, a method can be marked as const or even && (rvalue reference) and that's applied to the implicit this parameter. If anything, it would be clearer if this was an explicit parameter; as of C++23, it actually is allowed to be [1], called "deducing this".
