The generation script already has a way to identify location fields, by 
($t eq 'int' && $f =~ 'location$'), so you could use that as well.

I'm concerned about the large number of additional field annotations 
this adds.  We have been careful so far to document the use of each 
attribute, e.g., *why* does a field not need to be copied etc.  This 
patch adds dozens and dozens of annotations without any explanation at 
all.  Now, the code this replaces also has no documentation, but maybe 
this is the time to add some.
