typedef int avocado;
void eat(avocado x = .x);
avocado x;

The above code fails to compile with the error "cannot implicitly convert
expression (x) of type avocado to avocado". Changing the typedef to an alias
causes "cannot implicitly convert expression (x) of type avocado to int"
instead.

Placing the declaration of "x" before the declaration of "eat" makes it compile
just fine.
