Allow specifying the type when defining structs

@JonRowe

I’m replying to you because you made this ridiculous statement

Some courtesy, please? Disagreeing doesn’t warrant usage of “ridiculous”.

@JonRowe

Seems to me other people pointed out your errors, but I’m pointing out the flaws aside, its totally a valid objection.

I addressed their replies already. Repeating “it’s totally a valid objection” doesn’t make anything true. Please be respectful.

I apologise, but I feel you were not respectful in your original reply.

I surely was a little blunt there but hey, nobody took offence and we kept discussing.

And I was arguing more about the technical merits and not so much about cultural or philosophical. As I myself mentioned, I too minimise dependencies in personal projects.
