I agree with Sune here. Please create your struct with the types in question 
and proper names.

And that's only for very simple structs. Anything more complex should get a d 
pointer[*] and become a value-type class. Examples: QNetworkAddressEntry, 
QNetworkCookie, etc.

[*] getting a d pointer does not mean getting rid of the private members. See 
the Qt 6 task for QDateTime, for example. It's also possible to have classes 
with no d pointer, but you need to be absolutely sure there's no chance of 
extension for the next 10 years.
