One of my earlier solutions similarly would have forced people to deal
with duplicate typedefs, and we arrived at the current solution
because we didn't want to burden anyone with that. I feel like having
the extra include-guarded file is the lesser of evils. If it helps the
patch go through, then I'd drop my preference but I really think the
current solution is better.
