And embedding means making the layout (at least the size) of
PeriodicTimer public. I guess that's why QEMUTimer works via new.

Why do we care?  We don't have an stable module interface.

(the way to provide a size-stable interface is

    struct PeriodicTimer {
        struct PeriodicTimerImpl *impl
    };

though of course it negates some of the advantages of embedding).
