A funny thing about ha_rows. One storage engine vendor never realized that it was a uint64_t and was surprised when someone finally shoved one too many rows in their engine.

This sort of thing is why I don't like hiding types. Its nice shorthand, and it does make me realize sometimes that "this is an object" more then just a type, but still... It also doesn't provide any sort of type safety (which a strunct with a single member will do... but I don't know how others feel about that).

One other note about structs, except for the places where we need POD, I would like to see them all go away.

Cheers,
