I'm worse than riba at C and the bowls of the XS toolchain but it seems
that something like this should probably end up in ppport.h so that others
(not Data::Dumper) can take advantage of this same aliasing. No?

Karl and Jim both stated last night on IRC they didn't know how to do that,
and I certainly don't but maybe someone playing along at home could point
in the right direction and one of us can take care of it?
