I do use typedefs to help ease this burden, although I think they
sometimes just make it harder to read later, since they add an extra "hop"
when trying to understand a type. What I'm really trying to do is
eliminate half of those lines of code just for looking up an entry in the
hierarchy. Like in PHP:
if( isset( $hierarchy[ "foo" ][ "bar" ] ) ) {
...
}
