I don't understand the results of your typedef "poll".
Typedefs help MOST when they are applied to pointers.

I use typedefs sparingly, since they do not add any real power to the
C language.  The main usage I have is

	typedef int	bool;

so I can carefully distinguish between booleans and integers.  If "lint"
would not consider a "bool" so defined to be also an "int" it would help.
