Avoid structs with 32 or more fields.
Structs in Elixir are implemented as compile-time maps, which have a
predefined amount of fields.
When structs have 32 or more fields, their internal representation in
the Erlang Virtual Machines changes, potentially leading to bloating
and higher memory usage.
