Hmm.. Missed seeing that one go in.
I still think it's silly to name struct pointers in function arguments. Especially since that normally leads to stuff like 'struct foo *foo' where the parameter name is the same as the struct name.
Void pointers and generic types are a different matter. Naming those makes sense for clarity.
Oh well... Just my 2 cents...
