I posted a remark with the same concern.
But if we add it, or if we make the labels dynamically allocated, the
structure will become large and/or slow: I suspect we will need to make
it refcounted. Long ago, I posted a template to implement refcounting in
structure without the syntactic and memory overhead that buffers
require, it was in part meant for this.
