I am reminded of a C++ project I worked on, where I questioned the extensive use of typedefs around collections of things, various forms of references and compound objects etc. I was informed by one of the more experienced C++ folks that it made the code easier to comprehend.
Later I saw the typedef cheat-sheet sellotaped to the side of his monitor...
