We can't do anything about the use "Ptr" in the

that is public ABI. We can potentially eliminate "Ptr" types everywhere
else in the codebase, even the src/libvirt*.c files corresponding to
the public includes.
Does anyone have suggestions for how these "Ptr" typedefs are
benefiting libvirt ? Would anyone miss them ?
Oh yes, please go ahead and remove them. I learnt to use them as part of
libvirt coding style when I started working on libvirt, but never really
understood the reason behind them.
