I just discovered that our C compiler (4.2 cc) does not allow
void to be typedef'ed; furthermore, it gives an error message
that I haven't otherwise seen.  This suggests that this is its
intended behaviour, and not another void bug.

Is there any reason to disallow new names for void?  Is this
a bug or a feature?
