Not only this. C defines the layout as implementation depended. I once 
was bitten by this when porting a networked project from a low endian 
processor to a high endian processor :( .

Thus if we want binary portability of the structures we need to be 
better than C (optionally defining the structure as high-endian or low 
endian on user request) !!!!
