Comment (by nickm):

 On renaming:

 typed_var_t could be "c data", a "c object", an "encodeable", a
 "manipulatable".

 struct_member_t could probably become an implementation detail of
 config_var_t.

 config_var_t could be an "option", "field", "setting", "member", "entry".

 var_type_def_t could be "encoder", "encoding", "codec", "manipulator",
 "manip".

 Do any of these sound like good changes?
