Good catch.

Even if we're only using a pointer to it, we still need a valid forward
declaration (using the pointer only saves us from needing the full
definition). Or so I thought.

It looks like the compiler will treat the use inside the struct:

> >   struct strmap {
> >   	struct hashmap map;

> >   	unsigned int strdup_strings:1;

as an implicit forward declaration, but not the ones inside the function
declarations:

> >   			      int strdup_strings);

If you replace the pointer in the struct definition with "struct foo",
then "make hdr-check" will complain about mem_pool in the function. And
likewise if you replace the ones in the function with "struct foo", then
we'll complain about those.

I'm not sure whether this is a seldom-seen corner of the C standard, or
a compiler-specific thing (though both clang and gcc seem to allow it).
At any rate, I think it is worth fixing the typo'd forward declaration
(rather than deleting it) to make the intention clear.
