I think you are right that this memory trade-off shouldn't be a problem.

What worries me instead is that we are using an "internal" data structure
for option parsing. Would it make more sense to create a struct for use
in the parse_opts method and a method that translates those options into
the bitfield in struct rev_info?

Thanks,
