I can't believe you really think that passing a struct instead of its
several members obfuscates the interface in any significant way; GDB's
code is replete with instances of passing a struct of which the caller
uses only a small part.

I understand that you want to make a point, but let's not exaggerate
our arguments to such a ridiculous degree.
