I see. So basically, instead of encoding the original type in the
struct value, you have accessor functions in the struct value, and
the back-end can install different versions of those functions if
it needs to handle types differently. That would work as well.
I've prepared a set of two patches that fix my spu problem in a way
that I feel would be a step into the direction you describe. I'll
post those shortly ...
Bye,
Ulrich
