Strongly opposed to the _t mania.  I actually had a longer mail written
about the subject a few days ago, but I managed to lose it.  My two main
reasons for opposition were:

1) obfuscates code.  there is no reason to tell if silly_t is an int,
   struct or pointer to something just by looking at the type
2) impossible to provide forward declarations for interfaces using
   silly_t
