The issue with using Constable is that often times the information is 
the same, so I'm going to end up with not only more garbage but a really 
huge struct layout for every struct. Don't know if it's possible already 
but if not, It would be nice if I could create generic sets of 
Constables that act and work as if they were individually applied 
without creating a ungodly amount of garbage.
