Certainly. I think my attitude now is that the organization of
searching has been considered enough for local uses of struct block;
but clearly more thought has to occur before the global environment
gets designed. Whether or not that latter will continue to use struct
blocks is up in the air; it's a plausible design, but by no means the
only plausible design.
Wait a couple of weeks; we can have a nice big argument about all of
this then.
