That's a real pity too.  We have an application where a programmer
has to supply functions that match a predetermined interface (they
are called via pointers in a struct).  It would be wonderful if a
typedef could be used for defining the function as well as
declaring the pointers in the struct.

Yet another thing to fix in the "D" language.
