In the example above, the type `Pointer[(Pointer[U8] tag, USize)] tag` is equivalent to the `IOVec` struct type we defined earlier. That is, _a struct type is equivalent to a pointer to a tuple type with the fields of the struct as elements, in the same order as the original struct type defined them_.

**Can I pass struct types by value, instead of passing a pointer?** Not at the moment. This is a known limitation of the current FFI system, but it is something the Pony team is interested in fixing.
