Well I still use the 'old' style structures. I'm certainly not
going to start mixing the two styles in the same program. I don't
think I've started any new programs since we added the 'new' style
structures so I haven't yet had to decide which style I will use
in such a case.

Don't forget that I was one of the people that didn't really see
the problem and was quite happy using the 'old' style.

In this case it isn't clear to me that the old definition is in
any way correct as it is very different to the new ones...
