We should probably revert to having real typedefs.
I find myself not using Typedef either. Instead I use wrapper
structs with alias this, because they fit the shoe much better
by introducing a unique symbol in a straight forward way :)

Rationale

Typedef is not flexible enough to cover all use cases.
This is better done with a language solution.
