+ * We support parsing declarations using arbitrary identifiers as type
+ * specifiers (a la C typedef). To avoid confusion with identifiers that
+ * may also be used as declarators, note the following:
+ *
+ * (a) Every valid C declaration must have at least one type specifier, and
+ * (b) Valid declarations with typedef names have exactly one type specifier.
+ *
+ * So the rule applied when parsing specifiers is: an identifier is a type
+ * specifier only if we have not yet seen any type specifiers whatsoever
+ * (within one declaration specifier list).
+ *
+ * Treating identifiers as type specifiers by default can lead to strange and
+ * unexpected parses; libcdecl applies a simplification step to the resulting
+ * parse tree afterwards.
