Yeah, I would not try to map capnproto structs directly to
language-native structs, except as part of an up-front parsing API for
performance-insensitive use. The normal thing is to just define wrapper
types with accessors. Note that even with control over layout, a
struct's data section can be shorter or longer than what the compiled
schema suggests, so you still end up needing to do a bounds check.
