C++ had this forever (I assume), but for C this would be a breaking change which we try very hard to avoid.

Could you please give an example of what would break? Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems a new C standard supporting this would still compile existing code just as C++ can.
In C, it's perfectly legal to do this:
struct S { ... };
typedef int S;
I don't really think changing this in C would break all that much code, but it's definitely not backwards compatible.
