Well, one problem is that it means you have to add a bunch of additional
fields to every entry in the "hf_register_info" array, to squelch the
warnings.  That makes it even more of a pain to set up that array.

Perhaps we should define a macro to use to initialize those entries - or
perhaps multiple macros, for different types.
