Done. They were actually four, not five. The one I mistakingly though
was one was the notice processor hooks.
The case Martijn was saying would be warned about by the memset
approach, setting ntuples to 0, would actually be handled as a segfault,
because functions like check_field_number actually follow
res.noticeHooks pointer! ISTM we would just segfault at that point.
