------------------------------+--------------------------------
 checkSpace.pl has a list of types that are returned from function
 pointers, and uses it so that we don't complain about code like this:
 {{{
   bool (*eq)(const void *a, const void *b);
 }}}

 (Without recognizing that bool is a type, practracker would think that we
 were calling a function named "bool", and complain that we had a space
 after a function call.)

 In their review for #30864, catalyst notes that the current code in
 checkSpace.pl for this is unweildy, and suggests that we use a list
 instead.  I concur.
