I don't think so - the only problem I remember in this area was fixing someone's
patch where they'd confused the items for int versus a function-pointer
(but since all of the data are stored in the same location, except when
debugging, then nothing was lost, just mistyped)

well - by making these things table-driven, we can indeed go a step further and
make the tables compatible (is that what you are asking about?)
