No, I mean that won't work because we can't define structute myint, can we?
We can't do a variable length structure, so we can't do any code like that
because we can't define type big_int - or can we?

Well that makes some more sense, and it's how I'd expect TI to set up the
SDK.  It seems to make sense that they have one slightly longer method that
can handle much more complex situations. . .

Will look later.
