It isn't really difficult to deal with; it just means that if I am converting
something like a principal into a format that can be written to a file,
I have to say sizeof var->length instead of sizeof krb5_length. Not a big deal.
I was having a small lapse when I wrote that because I almost always use
sizeof (type) instead of sizeof(variable).
If the primary puprose for this is length encoded strings, then I guess we can
leave it as char *. If it is really for generic data, though, it seems like
having types for length and data is probably appropriate. Certainly, data
should be a krb5_pointer if this is the case.
I guess it could go either way.
