I don't see an alternative Rob.  I think of a based structure as a movable
window.  I can position the window to anyplace in storage, and the storage
I'm positioned over is viewed according to the data structure.  Because it's
more like "how do I want to look at THIS data?" than "let's share this
common storage among these variables," I don't see how the compiler could
allow INZ().

I mean, if I set the pointer to look at location 1000, should the compiler
then run code to write over those subfields because I said INZ()?  What
happens when I move to location 2000?  Maybe this is a candidate for a DCR?
