Quote from ISO/IEC 9899:1999, section 6.2.5:
| -- A structure type describes a sequentially allocated
| nonempty set of member objects (and, in certain
| circumstances, an incomplete array), each of which has
| an optionally specified name and possibly distinct
| type.
And in section 6.7.2.1:
| [#5] As discussed in 6.2.5, a structure is a type consisting
| of a sequence of members, whose storage is allocated in an
| ordered sequence, and a union is a type consisting of a
| sequence of members whose storage overlap.
C is horrible, but it's not THAT horrible.
