@mzaks absolute offsets would not compress any better (probably worse, since they'd be bigger numbers on average than relative offsets). To get absolute offsets relative to the start of the...

I can see the usefulness, but this is definitely more complex than with structs, where it is a mere memory mapping. Changing the signature of these functions at this point...

Yes, that is a bit clumsy. This feature hasn't seen a lot of testing I think. Glad that at least it can work. I'm not sure about the generated code...
