OK, if we are not using object_info structure at all, then I do not think it matters all that much if it is a struct of arrays or an array of structs (even though I suspect the latter would be cleaner).

But I'd rather see it named differently, leaving no room to be confused with the existing object_info structure.

Thanks.
