Just one note on your Sparky example (from the ASM point of view): Instead of passing in a pointer to each struct member (wagTheDog(sparky, sparky.bodi, sparky.bodi.tail);) you could pass in only 'sparky' as the rest are known offsets from sparky. It works because it is a POD. If bodi was a reference, sparky.bodi.tail would still have to be passed in.
I think this is a great optimization, provided Sparky has only one body and only one tail, which may actually be rather easy to verify statically.
