Structures with fields containing functions has never occurred to me before,
either, at least not in those terms.
However isn’t that exactly one of the key design principles behind how

and objects were initially added to C as some pretty hairy #define macros and
function pointers?
This design pattern insight would have been beneficial to me sooner - doh!
