Oh wow, I never noticed that. That's going to be a severe problem for
the "run it anywhere" goal. The typedefs list is already close to 32K,
and is not going anywhere but up. There are already platforms on which
a shell command line that long will fail, and I think once we break past
32K we might find it failing on even pretty popular ones.
