C's typedef syntax is retarded

The standard is to put the function name first and then the body. The analogy should be kept in other definitions similar to functions (if you are autistic enough that you need proof, see alias definitions in shells). So why is C's typedef backwards, first expecting the "body" and then the type? Tsk.

Because you touch yourself at night and typedef struct { /* my really long struct definition, with 7 factoryfactoryfactories, 23 singletons and 12 pointer to uintmax_t */ } type;
