Quoting r. Eitan Zahavi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

IBTA only defines a wire protocol. It's often wrong for applications
work in terms of raw packets- we should have libraries to encapsulate
typical usage.

While using on-the-wire values for library API sometimes makes sense,
this is not necessarily always the right way and e.g. efficiency concerns
might dictate otherwise.

The name is stack specific.  Whether it's best as an array or a union or a
struct is specific for an app.
