Which is why it would be a lot easier with hashes instead of
structures, as the fields could be edited during the discovery
process. When the whole thing is done, if a structure is really
necessary, the final hash could be relatively easily converted to a
structure (how easily depends on which functions IDL 8 will have to
convert hashes to structures; this case would be a bit trickier due to
recursion).
