3. Many types will follow similar patterns:

I suggest that specializations exist for these to avoid generating innumerable
identical data structures or functions. In fact, if they are named with names
like:
scanpipi()
scanpp()
scanip()
then the linker will automatically remove duplicates.
I realized after I posted this that the patterns:
ptr .. int .. ptr .. int
ptr .. int .. ptr
ptr .. int .. ptr .. int .. int
are the same as far as marking goes, and so should all generate the same
function/data.
