I am aware that this is the accepted practice, but I think it is a
waste of time. As I understand it, data structs are not initialized at
module start, so a plain old qualified data struct will not impact the
running of a program in that way.  And in terms of the system having
to allocate space for the data struct, I dont think there is any
difference in module startup when the static storage of a module is
size X vs size X+ %size(template_data_struct).
