  # == Parameters
  #
  # Parameters may be provided at initialisation to control the behaviour of
  # an object.  These params are:
  #
  # <tt>:fields</tt>::   An array specifying the fields for this struct.
  #                      Each element of the array is of the form [type, name,
  #                      params].  Type is a symbol representing a registered
  #                      type.  Name is the name of this field.  Params is an
  #                      optional hash of parameters to pass to this field
  #                      when instantiating it.
  # <tt>:hide</tt>::     A list of the names of fields that are to be hidden
  #                      from the outside world.  Hidden fields don't appear
  #                      in #snapshot or #field_names but are still accessible
  #                      by name.
  # <tt>:endian</tt>::   Either :little or :big.  This specifies the default
  #                      endian of any numerics in this struct, or in any
  #                      nested data objects.
