Merf. I think we could have set this up to be less cryptic.

Why is it:

> typedef struct sorted_node_data *sndp;

And not something that is:
	Clear named
	Defined adjacent to the structure

I don't know if we want to go as far as

struct sorted_node_data
{
	...
	typedef struct sorted_node_data *Ptr;
}

But I not mind something adjacent that was like

typedef struct sorted_node_data* sorted_node_data_ptr
