No need for hacking, if you use www.neo-layout.org. I've learned it last 
year. Biggest improvement of my human-computer interface for years.

Only because it's an alias for an build-in type, that is unnecessary. You 
could say the same thing about every other typedef. The reason, why this is 
bad practice is, that almost no one can easily write that type with a QWERTY
keyboard.
