Makes sense to me.

It's pretty typical for a missing check_typedef to wind up being a bug
in some scenario.  I think one of the dreams for method-izing struct
type is to make this impossible -- like having the various methods call
check_typedef themselves (if needed) before returning an answer.

Anyway, this looks good to me.
