While perhaps not urgent, I would like to see the small patch in this
ticket applied.

It adds a deprecation warning for structured arrays so that we can
move towards fields being returned in the order they are asked for
rather than the order in which they are in the array.  I think the
original implementation was an oversight, and the change gives the
behavior that most people would expect.
