In article <mit.lcs.mail.freebsd-arch/XFMail.001212122450.jhb@FreeBSD.org> you write:

By definition, C typedefs can never be opaque.  Only pointers to
incomplete aggregates (i.e., `struct foo *' or `union bar *') are
opaque in C.

In any event, I think requiring a functional interface to reference
counts is probably a Bad Idea.
