  `CreateDataInStructureCmd(Address addr, int[] componentPath, DataType dt)`
  Constructs a new command for creating data inside a structure.
  `CreateDataInStructureCmd(Address addr, int[] componentPath, DataType dt, boolean stackPointers)`
  This is the same as `CreateDataInStructureCmd(Address, int[], DataType)` except that it allows the caller to control whether or not a pointer data type is created when a non-pointer data type is applied at a location that previously contained a pointer data type.

  - ### CreateDataInStructureCmd

    public CreateDataInStructureCmd(Address addr, int[] componentPath, DataType dt)
    Constructs a new command for creating data inside a structure. Simple pointer conversion will NOT be performed.
    Parameters:
      `addr` - the address of the structure in which to apply the given datatype.
      `componentPath` - the component path of the component where the datatype will be applied.
      `dt` - the datatype to apply in the structure.

  - ### CreateDataInStructureCmd

    public CreateDataInStructureCmd(Address addr, int[] componentPath, DataType dt, boolean stackPointers)
    This is the same as `CreateDataInStructureCmd(Address, int[], DataType)` except that it allows the caller to control whether or not a pointer data type is created when a non-pointer data type is applied at a location that previously contained a pointer data type.
    Parameters:
      `addr` - the address of the structure in which to apply the given datatype.
      `componentPath` - the component path of the component where the datatype will be applied.
      `dt` - the datatype to apply in the structure.
      `stackPointers` - if true simple pointer conversion is enabled (see `DataUtilities.reconcileAppliedDataType(DataType, DataType, boolean)`).
