You mean passing the pointer to the callout itself and using that to get to the
relevant pointer?  That seems less obvious from a code readability standpoint.
We also don't actually guarantee that the 'struct callout' is still alive when
the function is called currently (hence the need for the local variables that
store a copy of the fields).
