I like this one better, too. According to
http://herbsutter.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/cringe-not-vectors-are-guaranteed-to-be-contiguous/,
vector<> are guaranteed to be contiguous (except for bools), nice for
resetting things.

Should I still provide a mechanism to request which physicalActions will
be used (like NEEDS_BEX now)? In another words: is there a case that
someone doesn't need Momentum or Force and needs to save a few kbs of
memory?
