Jeremiah - it occurred to me overnight (!) that I am probably wrong here
- I think you were returning a structure, which IIRC is done by copying
the fields in the struct. This is new-fangled stuff for those of us
brought up on K&R ed.1: when I was a kid you could only return scalars.
Perhaps, for my sanity, we could keep to the style of coding used
elsewhere in Denemo, passing in pointers to structures you want filling
up with returned values. It does avoid accidentally copying lots of
stuff that you are not really interested in.
