Nested Voldemort structs? Horcruxified, to work around the symbol
name length explosion. I always imagined allowing for multiple
values (in multiple fields) was part of the point behind them.
For instance, consider the several discrete pieces of data you
get from the Result of std.regex matching. (Not all of it is via
opIndex.)
