To clarify, this is not so much about the appearance of new builtins
but that the structure has fields with no name.  Other builtin
structures like __va_list_tag have names on their fields.  FieldDecl
derives (indirectly) from NamedDecl.

Our concern is that AST processing tools expect to find a name on
fields, and the changes in question introduced fields without names.
Can they be given names, if only for AST consistency?

Thanks,
