Hmm, yes, after many attempts,
that one doesn't fix anything.
I think I should drop the split of offsetof[end](),
since I'm forced to include the same headers indirectly anyway.


For the rest,
such as sizeof_field(),
I'm allowed to include just a tiny header with the definition
in the following cases:

That is the draft that I have for patch set 2.

As an example, let me show you one of those commits:
