I would like to have precision here. so perhaps as incremental change I
can
 1) reorganize callers to pass refs rather than just field_decls
 2) check if TREE_OPERAND (component_ref, 2) is non-NULL in both case
    a) if so do operand_equal_p on them and return 0 on match
    b) if there is no match see if I have same canonical types and
       return 1 then
    c) return -1 otherwise
 3) continue with parsing FIELD_DECLS we work on now.

OK, will try to improve comments (though i tried to be relatively
thorough).
