It's not half-done. Structs are supposed to be POD. They should
contain exactly the members that you list; no more hidden stuff.
See TDPL 7.1.8 (p.262): "Unlike classes netsted within classes,
nested structs and nested classes within structs dont contain any
hidden member outer - there's no special code generated."
I am not sure about classes within structs but nested structs
should behave like they do IMHO.
