Ok, so the current typedef scheme is ugly:
typedef int foo;
type foo bar;
Bart proposed:
typedef int Foo;
Foo bar;
This reserves every name begining with [A-Z] for typedef names.
That's also ugly.
We could also use
typedef int _foo;
_foo bar;
or any other character (except ;,$.()[]{}+-*/%!#^&|~=<>?: )
I don't think we can preserve our current type syntax and usage and get
arbitrary names as typedefs, the '*' really makes it hard.
