Re: [PATCH] style(5): No struct typedefs

Well, I don't like the "typedefs" name, because as I see it the divide
you're sketching here (which I support, in general) is the divide
between interface and implementation, and in some cases the interface
is more than just the typedefs.  Some structs have their struct
definition, or some of it (regex_t is an example), as part of their
advertised interface, and many have #defines as well.

But I'd rather see the division done with (what I see as) an inaccurate
name than see the division not done.
