Seems to me it ought to be some kind of descriptor.
It might be possible to do this reasonably without
any new syntax, e.g.
@cstruct
class MyStruct:
x = cfield("f")
y = cfield("f")
given a function cfield() that returns a suitable
descriptor.

But it doesn't work that way -- class attributes don't
go through __setattr__ during class creation. They go
into a dict that is passed to the type object's
constructor. The class doesn't even exist while the
class body is being evaluated.
