The fact that pointer types can't be used with this pattern without typedef still seems kinda primitive to me.

You can use pointer types by using a typedef first, but I agree this not nice (I hope we will fix this in future C). But then, I think this is a minor inconvenience for having an otherwise working span type in C.
