This particular kind of typedef never was in favour in C, but it gets
you behaviour similar to C++ where struct/enum/union/class
declarations (generally) behave as if they introduce this kind of
typedef implicitly. Some people (typically with a Windows/C++
background) prefer that, although it's arguably needless obfuscation
and idiosyncratic C.
