Hide aliased types

[AmjadHD]

typedef struct Point {
    int x;
    int y;
} Point;

translates to:

type
  struct_Point* = object
    x*: cint
    y*: cint
  Point* = struct_Point

struct_Point is exported, when arguably it shouldn't be.

Futhark tries to emulate C, and in C when you import a module with a typedef'ed struct you get both the original and the typedef'ed version. So this works as intended.

Besides the output of nim doc suffers greatly if these aren't exported.

These clutter the autocompletion suggestions, bloat the API and pollute the documentation. What I had in mind is an option to generate:

type
  Point* = object
    x*: cint
    y*: cint

and if there is a reference to struct Point replace it with the alias.

C interoperability is still more important. And detecting struct Point across the entire output is harder than it sounds.
