Not wrapper types, no. But 'different' types, yes.

Extenders will probably see things like:

    typedef void PMC;

or

    typedef char PMC;

rather than the actual struct.

Right, but that's what the wrapper library is for. We will have a lot 
of simple functions that have just a line or two of real code behind 
them. That's OK--it's the only way to guarantee backwards 
compatibility in the future.
