That way my plan, but the committee had concerns about type safety.

  This would probably need some special rules around stuff like: typedef struct { ... } foo_t; typedef struct { ... } bar_t; foo_t foo = (bar_t){ ... }; i.e. these are meant to be named types and thus should remain nominal even though it's technically a typedef. And ditto for similarly defined pointer types etc. But this is a pattern regular enough that it can just be special-cased while still allowing proper structural typing for cases where that's obviously what is intended (i.e. basically everywhere else).

    I agree, that is also the solution I suggested. I will try to bring this back for C2y.
