Part of the advantage of the structs Per is talking about is this:  Structs may 
be passed as arguments and used as locals elementwise, with no allocation on 
the stack.

And more critically: Returned as method results.

It is easy enough to simulate struct arguments or locals
or fields: just use one argument or local for each struct "field".
But you can't do that for method results.
