Have you tried nesting structures into a sequence or array ? What
changes would be needed to support this ?

This approach seems to only consider the case where you memcpy a struct
directly into the buffers, no ?

How does it deal with copying field-by-field into the structure's fields ?

On a different point, I see nothing here that documents where/how
recursion that could happen by nesting an array within itself is
handled.

Thanks,

Mathieu
