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.
