	With that table you can construct all the rest of it trivially.

	From memory:

{
	int i;
	Test_Numbers_slice numbers[20];
	Test_ITest_foo (numbers);
	for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
		printf ("Output %d", numbers [i]);
}

	I hope the above clears things up - the aim here is to avoid dynamic
allocation for things that do not need it.
