I generally try to avoid concatenating identifiers like this, as it makes
it much harder to grep for where a particular symbol or
struct member gets used.

Yes, good idea. I'm surprised we don't have a generic macro for that yet
(or maybe I just couldn't find it)

Ok.

Ok. I'll integrate all of the above and post as a non-RFC patch then
after some testing.
