You don't, as this problem will only happen very rarely, and introducing a
typedef for those cases seems to be fine.

But only if you know already beforehand. If you didn't notice it, Haiku's API
is not only trying to be consistent, but also readable (like the recent TR() ->
B_TRANSLATE() macro name change) :-)
If typing speed is what slows you down during programming you must either be
*pretty* smart or a pretty slow typist ;-)
Of course, too long names hurt readability as well, but I don't think this is a
problem with the names involved here, especially since they are used only
rarely.
Bye,
