State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed

State-Changed-Why:
Confirmed with present 3.4. The standard says in 3.6.1.2:
An implementation shall not predefine the main function. This func-
tion shall not be overloaded. It shall have a return type of type
int,...
I can't say whether this rules out having a typedef to
int instead. I think the answer is: don't do it, there's
no good reason for such bogosity.
