PEP: Title: Adding data-type objects to the standard library

Not sure about having 3 different ways to specify the structure -- it smacks of Too Many Ways To Do It to me.

Also, what if I want to refer to fields by name but don't want to have to work out all the offsets (which is tedious, error-prone and hostile to modification)?
