Could I talk you into endecode_fields_0a_struct() instead?  All the
aggregate encoders have that sort of name, with "fields" in it.  The
primitives like int64 have endecode_int64_t.  But you're not adding
a primitive array encoder, but another aggregate.  I think of
struct PINT_handle_array as being like PVFS_handle_extent_array.
