\ Usage example:
\
\ struct
\     1 cells: field search-method
\     1 cells: field reveal-method
\ end-struct wordlist-map
\
\ The structure can then be extended in the following way
\ wordlist-map
\     1 cells: field enum-method
\ end-struct ext-wordlist-map \ with the fields search-method,...,enum-method

: nalign ( addr1 n -- addr2 )
\ addr2 is the aligned version of addr1 wrt the alignment size n
 1- tuck +  swap invert and ;

: field ( offset1 align1 size align -- offset2 align2 )
\ note: this version uses local variables
    [IFDEF]  (Field) (Field)  [ELSE]  Header reveal dofield: cfa,  [THEN]
	>r rot r@ nalign  dup ,  ( align1 size offset )

\ I don't really like the "type:" syntax. Any other ideas? - anton
