structs containing those arrays. Encapsulating the arrays in this way makes it easier to write and think about pointers to these types, casts to/from these types, etc. An interesting side-effect that we probably should *not* rely on is that the struct-encapsulation changes the alignment so that some GCC warnings about casts that increase the alignment requirement of the operand go away. Warnings like that have to be taken seriously: I will add -Werror=cast-align to the default compiler flags so that they stop the build quickly. GCC warnings led me to some surprising casts in test/trefer.c. I found that it was possible to make many simplifications after introducing the struct-encapsulation that I described, above. In test objcopy_ref `same_file` is assigned but never used. Delete it.
