Btw, just to clarify: I don't love "struct head_page" either. It looks
clunky. But at least something like that would be a _straightforward_
clunky name.

Something like just "struct pages" would be less clunky, would still
get the message across, but gets a bit too visually similar.

Naming is hard.
