Description

I think I should probably make indices on struct fields mandatory, as opposed to using the order the getters are declared in.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating how struct fields currently use getter declaration order and how field indices are represented; define the expected mandatory-index behavior and verify it against representative serialized structs before proposing a change.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
