> In fact FTL seems to allow OPAQUE structured types

This is the only compiler I've come across that does this, and it can be 
a pain if one is not prepared. Specifically (and working from memory), it 
rewrites the .sym file (derived from the .def) after compilation of the 
.mod if it finds non-pointer opaques, which can cause intractable 
dependency problems.
