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.

But... but... but...!!!

  Oh, wait - it does.

...Finally!

     typedef int (*FIntInt)(int);
      FIntInt funcs[10];

Just one tiny point, though. I've never been a fan of hiding pointers behind typedefs. I would much prefer:
typedef int FIntInt(int);
FIntInt *funcs[10];
Better to have those *s out in the open, where we can keep an eye on them.
