I think the sorting alphabetically seems fine, but I'll defer it to
others to weigh in here on this decision though.
I guess we will not have many instances of that struct, so I guess
potential padding resulting from the sorting requirement should be
fine.
We probably want to add a note somewhere in the code asking to keep that
stuff ordered alphabetically.
By the way, for other people looking at this, I find it easier to review
this with: git show --color-moved --histogram.
Code-wise, looks good to me, so if this is the direction we take,
