Two wrongs don't make one right. IMO void* should never be used unless
all other options failed. But apparently it's already been decided
that void * is the way to go. So this discussion is moot.

The ODR issue can only be solved on a per module basis. At least my
patch would make it explicit. Maybe a similar system forcing a local
type for all XXX_sys_t would make it ever more explicit. Ensuring that
modules don't cause issues (at least that one) for static linking.
