I think so. If the use of magic numbers like T_POINT is allowed in
user's extensions, they seem to be going to clash sooner or later
because one could not know its value without looking the source
code. So, Data_Make_Struct() or Data_Wrap_Struct() should be used, or
essentially rb_data_object_alloc().
