Wouldn't it suffice to use
  typedef char *unmeta_t;
  typedef unsigned char *meta_t;

(or the reverse if we believe we're mostly going to be working on
meta_t).  If we do that and also enable the GCC warnings -Wtype-limits
-Wconversion -Wformat-signedness would we not get adequate verbosity
without changing pointer arithmetic and dereferencing?

I hadn't even considered all the places where using a struct would
change memory allocation strategy.  Oof.
