What about we always also add the address of a char array?

         }
       return true;
     }

For our contrived example above that would give:

{.foo=""@0xcb4010, .foo_size=42, .bar=""@0xcb4050, .bar_size=47}
{.foo="<unknown>"@0x0, .foo_size=42, .bar="<unknown>"@0x2a, .bar_size=0}

Does that look reasonable or silly?
