# == Parameters
#
# Parameters may be provided at initialisation to control the behaviour of
# an object. These params are:
#
# :fields:: An array specifying the fields for this struct.
# Each element of the array is of the form [type, name,
# params]. Type is a symbol representing a registered
# type. Name is the name of this field. Params is an
# optional hash of parameters to pass to this field
# when instantiating it.
# :hide:: A list of the names of fields that are to be hidden
# from the outside world. Hidden fields don't appear
# in #snapshot or #field_names but are still accessible
# by name.
# :endian:: Either :little or :big. This specifies the default
# endian of any numerics in this struct, or in any
# nested data objects.
