I think the reason we are not erroring out is that, eg the first snippet, is
parsed like:
struct A {};
void foo() { struct A; }
which is fine (and my guess is consistent with the int case).
In any case, typeof is a very old extension (now obsoleted by decltype in C++)
and we have been accepting the syntax for such a long time, I don't think we
really want to "fix" this anyway. Closing?
