Style and the amount of actually used syntax is different. Style is how you use
a set of the syntax. Styles using different sets of the syntax are not to be
compared. Here it's not style: it's mostly a reduction of the syntax. Then you
could define different styles using the same set of the syntax. But I have to
agree, syntax reduction is often, if not always, put in the "style" bag, which
I think is wrong.

If I recall properly, I was nesting structs with type names intersecting the C
keywords (float...), any short suffix will do actually or none if not
conflicting with anything.

On this web page, when I tried to get the definition of the [CX] code related
to the _t suffix I got a nice page complaining javascript is nowhere to be
found, I had to use google to find the right page... bad omens.
