We do not support typedefs in protobuf. We would like proto APIs to be as
consistent as possible between languages, so we would not add a feature
that is so C/C++ specific. If we were to do something like this, it would
be a more generic version of type aliasing. See this thread
<https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/3521> for a
conversation about support for type aliasing.
