I'll take another crack at it. I'm not entirely sold yet on merging
the two structs; I think first we'd better look and see what the needs
are in the other potential callers I mentioned. If we'd end up
cluttering the struct with half a dozen weird fields, it'd be better to
stick to a minimal interface struct with various wrapper structs, IMO.

OTOH it did seem that the names were getting a bit long. If we do
keep the two-struct-levels approach, what do you think of
s/SortSupportInfo/SortSupport/g ?
