Can we throw a couple of #defines in there too?
#define vp_strval data.strvalue
#define vp_octets data.octets
?

That way vp->vp_strval is a direct substitute for vp->strvalue. It carries a
risk of namespace pollution though.

(I'm not too fussed, I'm as happy as not with unions, but I know
some people dislike the extra component.)

Otherwise, an anonymous union might do it, if I recall correctly?

Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids. If it did,
we'd be running around in darkened rooms, popping pills and
listening to repetitive music.
