I also think that this is a little annoying, but there seems to be no
easy way out, since all user code has a reference to VARHDRSZ.
Therefore all existing code would need to be ported. Since I don't
have lots of C code I would vote for doing this, but what would
those with lots of code say :( ?

PS: Maybe some good macros for users would be good to hide VARHDRSZ
