The point is just to identify where we're deviating from standard C. Because
if we're not testing ImportC against actual C code, how can we call it a C
compiler?
I think having an example of such forward reference on the documentation page
would be enough to satisfy this isssue:
https://dlang.org/spec/importc.html#forward-references
Just give friendly names to the first example in this issue.
```
Ta *pa;
struct Sa { int x; };
typedef struct Sa Ta;
```
