As I recall, we talked about this a bit, but never did come up with a
great method.

Huh.  Looks like the code is relying on types and variables/parameters
being in different namespaces, but that warning doesn't like that.  I
guess we must not have had the relevant warning enabled before.

I made a fix, but it's been so long since I pushed things to the ccan
repo, I've forgotten how and will have to figure it out again.

Speaking of which... ccan is largely moribund at this point.  Neither
Rusty nor I has any real time to devote to it.  And in my case,
collecting C examples - even very nice ones - has become a lot
compelling with the emergence of viable alternative systems
programming languages (Rust, Go, Zig).
