Hm? No, that's what transparent struct members avoid: there is no
sub-struct name, the members of the struct are transparently visible in
the surrounding struct:
struct inside {
int a;
int b;
};
struct foo {
struct inside;
int c;
} *p;
"p->a" is valid.

Right, that's still in progress. I don't expect it soon, though. :(
