/* This short program was written to clarify in my own head something which
 * had confused me. If I pass a struct (not a pointer) as an argument to a 
 * function, that function receives a copy of the original struct. Changes
 * made to that copy will have no effect on the struct in the calling function.
 * This holds true for arrays inside the struct: the arrays are complete 
 * copies of the originals, not copies of pointers leading to the same place 
 * (as I had for some reason expected).
 *
 * The function called bad_manipulate1 shows a simple case demonstrating the
 * error I made in another program.
