No, no, that's not happening.

Thanks, one less flex-struct to change. :)

I like the flex struct.
I don't like struct group around a 360LoC declaration just to avoid
having to fix up a handful of users.

That's what I mean. If we can prevent the flex array ending up in the
middle of a struct by any means, then I wouldn't have to change the
flex struct.
