Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?  With it, We wouldn't
need to support multiple userdata fields in structures: simply use the
address of the structure in the key, e.g. "/myapp/0xbeefcafe/prop". A
userdata field in BITMAPs would still be good (maybe to cache the key
name?), but most other structures can probably do without.

Let's hope it's only an example :-)
