 Annoying would be having to get letter case or punctuation just right.
 But C typepecs can go far beyond it. I can just about do arrays of pointers, or pointers to arrays. Anything more complicated is pretty much trial and error.
 In an example in my post which I then deleted (DB will just ignore examples), I wanted to create an array of 10 pointers to functions that take an int and return an int.

If only C had a way to make that simple and clear.  Oh, wait - it does.
typedef int (*FIntInt)(int);
FIntInt funcs[10];
If a C programmer - such as yourself - is foolish enough to reject parts of the language designed to make coding simpler, safer, clearer and more portable, then I can see how your self-imposed restrictions make your coding harder.  But the fault lies in the poor use of the language, not the language.
(Typically you would give the function pointer type a name appropriate to its use rather than based on the parameter and return types - things like "keypress_event".)
