Besides , if someone's browsing the code using 'gid' one would
have to first discover where xxxx_t is defined and realise it's
typedef'ed to struct _xxxx_t and then we'd start to find where
the heck _xxxx_t is .
I'm not saying code needs to be written keeping in mind ease
with which we can run code browsing tools, but avoiding unnecessary
typedefs can certainly help here.
