The portable C compiler appears to allow a storage class of typedef on
function parameters, e.g. :

	f(x) typedef int x;
	{
		x c;

		c = 20;
	}

This gives no error in cc or lint. Of course, x cannot be used in
expressions within the function. This must be a bug, since K+R says
that the only storage class allowed on a parameter is register.
