A seriously substantial portion of the diff for this patch all is supporting trivial renaming, like changing everything that uses:

-       TypeName   *typename = (TypeName *) cmd->def;
+       TypeName   *typeName = (TypeName *) cmd->def;

Is that really necessary? After going through a few pages of diff code where supporting this trivial bit was the only change, my eyes glazed over. Minimizing diff size makes it much more likely somebody will complete a review of the functional parts of your submission before getting bored.

If it is needed, I'd suggest you'd get a warmer reception here submitting two diffs, one that just did the renaming and a second that actually had the functional bits in it. Then it would be possible to casually scan the renaming one for a second to see it was trivial and boring, followed by a review of the functional one that was focused on its real changes.
