I suspect that the best option is probably to make that thing a unnamed
union of the actual different types the different restart cases needs,
which also allows you to name things appropriately and not have any wasted
space.
Leave the arg0-3 ones around as one of the unions, both to avoid having to
change other things and to have a "generic" one for stuff that simply
doesn't much care (in order to not have tons and tons of substructures to
the union when most users really don't need any fancy types).
I think we already depend on recent-enough gcc's that unnamed unions are
ok and we don't need to play games with naming.
