Unfortunately, you can't make a safe interface in C.
In C++ you can do better, in Felix it is possible to do it properly.
It's easy to make mistakes ..

this won't work so well because below you write judy->judy and that
fails if the first judy there is NULL.
instead you should just do the same cast you do on the next line ..
except ..

This cast isn't legal is it? You cannot cast a * to a struct to a
void** directly. You would
need to write
(void**)(void*)judy
first casting to void*. BTW: the use of aliases like PPvoid_t is a bad
idea IMHO.
What does it mean? Have to look it up. Why typedef something as simple
as void**? Better to spell it out.
