Re: struct-copy func

Hi,

Good idea.

That's not possible: `struct-copy' must check fields permission and type
before copying.  For instance, `s' fields must be updated, and a struct
with `o' fields cannot be copied I think.

To that end, we should probably factorize code that deals with struct
layout, field permission checks and the likes.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
