Sorry for that.

Structures should be used only when:

- You need to call an external C function that requires a C structure.

- You want to send a bunch of structured bytes to a stream, or receive it.

In all other cases, use a class.

At the moment, structure declaration cannot be shared, because all 
source files must be compilable independently. This may change in the 
future as soon as I find a good way to do that.
