Right, bit wasteful. But the advantage is that I get a structure with
pointers that exactly mirrors the structure we're writing.

I can try this, but I'm not sure it'll be pretty. Even if I wrap it in a
decent macro, I still get to define a ton of variables and then wrap the
lot into a structure -- one that expects function pointers.

I'll see how horrible it will become.
