So I can do this which I think is less confusing:

record("MyStructure", "__
 item1 long    1       __ 
 item2 pointer 1       __
 rect STRUCT RECT      __
 item3 byte   10
 item4 uint    1       __
 ")

Underscores are only allowed inside of identifiers.
If they are inside a sting they would be ignored.
