Actually in looking at this some more, I have to agree with Garrett. I thought Poul was pointing out a deficiency only in my newly added macros, but it seems this change would have to happen to almost all of the macros in order to be effective. This would force the conversion of lots of FreeBSD code making us different from other 4.4BSD systems. It also means that all the code that doesn't use typedef, which seems the majority, would have to stick "struct foo" instead of the single struct name, whereas the current scheme always allows you to use a single word identifier in the macros even if you use typedef. -- Justin T.
