Comment(by jinmei):

 Additional notes based on jabber chat with Jelte:

  - we may want to use a kind of !RdataFields within specific derived
 classes of Rdata directly.  i.e., instead of listing uintN_t/Name/string
 members, each Rdata variant class contains a single !RdataFields object,
 and its getter method retrieves the corresponding value from the
 !RdataFields data.  Accessing individual RDATA fields is likely to be a
 rare operations, so optimizing other jobs at the cost of heavier accessing
 method may make more sense.
  - we may want to provide an interface to convert an !RdataFields object
 to corresponding Rdata.  (hmm, to make it possible !RdataFields or the
 interface needs to know its RR class and type, so this may not be as
 trivial as it may look)

 In any case, I think these should go to future extensions of this task.
