zealots argue against goto because it's a low-level feature and they
have not understood that loops are basically using goto under the hood.
So we can identify the notion against goto as the fear of low-level
stuff and a fear of low-abstraction.
With typedefs, we are going another direction, because typedefs are a
"high-abstraction" just like using
if () {
} else if () {
if () {
} else {
}
}
trees just not to have gotos in the code.
