Do you agree with that? Or is there something more to making two types
be incompatible?

I don't recall the exact discussion and I wouldn't try to speak
for Tim, but I suspect he was saying that the fact that the two
struct tags are different is enough to know that the types are
not compatible.  In a similar vein, I know that 152016259867 and
152016259868 are unequal because one of them is even and the other
is odd.  That doesn't imply that 152016259867 and 3 are equal.

The rules for type compatibility are in the C standard.  Reading them
could give you even more things to complain about.
