That's pretty cool.

The restriction against pointers to UDTs seems a little odd though; does 
that apply to arrays of UDTs as well?  Do pointers to built-in types 
work, and if so what makes UDTs unsupported?

Personally, I wouldn't use it, because I dislike relying on declared 
member order (which is why I'm sad that gcc/C99's named initialisation 
*still* hasn't made it into C++).  But that's just me; I'm sure it'll be 
more useful to others. :)
