I suspected that we'd have to supply the types as abstract structs
per my earlier suggestion, and just found a good reason why:
"headerscheck --cplusplus" is failing for me on RHEL8, because it
tries to parse all headers under C++.  This is blocking progress on
another patch, so I went ahead and committed the addition.
