> There are a number of structures that consist of a one-element array as the
> only struct member.  Some of those are unused so remove them. Others are
> used to index into a buffer/array consisting of a variable number of a
> different data or structure type.  Those are unnecessary since we can use
> simple pointer arithmetic or index directly into the buffer to access individual
> elements of the buffer/array.
> 
> Additional code cleanups were done near areas affected by this change.
