I knew it would work on Solaris with gcc and cc that do not
understand flexible array members, but I am a bit worried about
other environments, where flexible array members are properly
supported.  They've been happily using member[] but with the
patch they suddenly start wasting a cell.

But we should do this sooner rather than later to find out any
breakage, and give people on platforms with a cc that supports
flexible array members and care about wasted memory enough time
to send patches to support their compiler in the way similar to
how gcc is supported.

But I cannot use your message with whitespace-broken patch (note
"format=flawed") and insufficient commit log message, which
means I have to do this myself.  Not tonight...
