It is not "evil" typedef'in magic.  XSPROTO() explicitly has been
introduced because XS() cannot be used in typedefs:

    SWIG uses XS() like this (in the perlrun.swg template):
    
    typedef XS(SwigPerlWrapper);
    typedef SwigPerlWrapper *SwigPerlWrapperPtr;
    
    This breaks if XS() includes the 'extern "C"' decoration under C++.
    The appended patch provides an XSPROTO() macro that could be used
    by SWIG instead.
    
    (Patch from Jan Dubois to fix breakage caused by #28734.)
    
    p4raw-id: //depot/perl@31697

So obviously XSPROTO should *not* include "static" either.
