I thought the main reason was that you can't have forward declarations of
typedefs, while you can have for structs.

Hence

    typedef struct {
        ...
        b_t *p;
    } a_t;

    typedef struct {
        ...
        a_t *p;
    } b_t;

won't fly.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
