[issue16566] Structure._anonymous_ should not allow strings

[anatoly techtonik]

I agree with you on a generic case, where "Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.", but this special case in ctypes and _anonymous_ context is where the rule "Although practicality beats purity." should apply. Otherwise I can't see any examples where the latter wins, and why it presents in the The Zen at all.
