Then what's the "common base" of all contacts? There must be something
like that, if I want to operate a contact in a general manner. Or it
ends up in something like ::Connect(getcontactsSIPaddress(foocontact)) -
but there's still at least "something" (foocontact). A struct with a
defined head and the rest union? (I know those details shouldn't be in
the design-stage, but take it as it is).

Using the information common to all types of contacts.
