How do you initialize a typedef'd struct?
``d
vPair v1 = vPair(pair(1f, 2f));
```
So to use a typedef'd struct... I have to basically add the
original type on top of the typedef'd type every time? Surely
it's not this clunky?
I mean, why even use a typedef then. Why not use just pair,
sPair, vPair, etc as separate types with identical members and
cast as necessary? I'm not sure what the benefit typedef is
adding here.
Thanks
