And, by the way - by putting the attribute after the 'struct' keyword we 
get the best of the two worlds: accidentally non-defined attribute 
shortcuts will still result in a build error.

Below is the fix - should be identical to yours (which was whitespace 
mangled).

I'll backmerge these fixes to the originating commits & push out -v2 later 
today.

Thanks,

	Ingo
