 FWIW, again I think that code cleanups should be separate from bug fixes, 
so as to make the changes easier for people to digest, perhaps many years 
later.  So I'd rather the `struct orl' name indirection removal was made 
with a preparatory change.  I did not consider such an update, I have to 
admit; I did not analyse whether there was any real justification for the 
indirection to be there in the first place.

 Since you have already pushed your fix as a combined change, it has been 
cast in the repo and I think it may not be terribly productive to go back 
and revert the fix, split it into two patches, and reapply them in that 
form.  So I can only thank you for your extra effort.
