arbitrary C data

You have a bunch of arbitrary data you want to let the world read. The
data is in C types. SO, A quantum of data is a datum and a type. A dual.
That's all you need to guarantee. If you can avoid composite types
(structs) the requisite interpreters are kept simple. Platform specifics
like what is an int are probably in /proc already. Derivable for sure.
Give em duals. One type char for each datum. Or each array. No structs
tho. No storage class. No translation. Just data. Pretty-print /proc
entirely in user-space.
Note that I don't claim to have clue-the-first what you're talking about,
but it sounds like fun.
