No, there's no such struct, otherwise I wouldn't be opting for this
complication ;-)

I'm still missing something, because I don't see how "*(struct foo *)x"
differs from "*(struct {long foo; unsigned bar;} *)x".  Both are valid
C expression syntax, so the parser should be able to parse them both.

I guess someone just stopped short of making this part of the parser,
because it looks like "struct <name>" is the only syntax it accepts.
Right?

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
