They all seem to be about the same problem.  The structure has
become opaque and you can't have it directly on the stack or in an
other struct.  Instead you need to allocate it with TYPE_new(),
which will give you a pointer back.  This will ensure that the
allocated size is the correct one, since we might change the
structure to add new fields and thing like that.  When you do
things like sizeof(TYPE) you would get the size at compile time
which might be a different one than the one at runtime.
