There's a whole bunch of these inconsistencies throughout the rpc
code if you look hard enough.  (-:  Pointers to structs that
should be structs and so on.

When I was looking at them I also decided to leave them alone as
the were working.  As we all know, automatically generated
from idl code would be really nice.  You could even remove all
those stupid xyz_ptr, lengths and other stuff that is only
relevant on the wire.
