I don't think there are that many people will write

  using fp = int (*)(int, double);

but just baulk at

  typedef int (*fp)(int, double);

What C calls a "type name" -- the int (*)(int, double) part -- is the
bit that bothers most people, at least in my limited experience.

But you probably have much wider experience of what modern C programmers
know and don't know.
