+ * __struct_group() - Create a mirrored named and anonyomous struct
+ *
+ * @TAG: The tag name for the named sub-struct (usually empty)
+ * @NAME: The identifier name of the mirrored sub-struct
+ * @ATTRS: Any struct attributes (usually empty)
+ * @MEMBERS: The member declarations for the mirrored structs
+ *
+ * Used to create an anonymous union of two structs with identical layout
+ * and size: one anonymous and one named. The former's members can be used
+ * normally without sub-struct naming, and the latter can be used to
+ * reason about the start, end, and size of the group of struct members.
+ * The named struct can also be explicitly tagged for layer reuse, as well
+ * as both having struct attributes appended.
