Summary:                    [0.9.3] Empty structs have $PLACE_HOLDER$ field
Description: 
The following code:

  public struct EmptyStruct { }

produces empty structure with the following IL:

.class public sequential ansi sealed beforefieldinit EmptyStruct
       extends [mscorlib]System.ValueType
{
  .pack 0
  .size 1
} // end of class EmptyStruct

Nemerle's generated structure has no the following IL:

.class public auto ansi sealed EmptyStruct
       extends [mscorlib]System.ValueType
{
  .field private specialname uint8 $PLACE_HOLDER$
} // end of class EmptyStruct


As you can see, they differ and Nemerle's IL has strange $PLACE_HOLDER$
field. If possible, it would be good if generated code would be without
this $PLACE_HOLDER$ field...
