Why would someone put a lonely array inside a structure?
struct ip_address { unsigned char d[4]; };
Would it be because they want to (in the future) add more members to
this structure? Because it's not like they can hide this array in the
structure; it's still referenced as
struct ip_address ip;
ip.d[0] = ...
ip.d[1] = ...
But it does look neat, so I guess neatness is the reason? It's also
easier to read because we're constantly reminded it is an ip address?
