What I mean is I guess that pattern has affected my mindset in the way I 
think about putting a structure at the right side of an assignment 
operator :) I am not so much into C/C++, and I suppose the underlying 
mechanisms would have been clearer if I knew those languages.

So, in short: do not use a Struct ever, unless you are talking to a C 
shared-library through the Extern
keyword, because the underlying mechanisms are slower, and also as I 
read in the wiki, they occupy more memory.
