VacAttrStatsP vs VacAttrStats * (typedef'ing pointer types)

While looking around vacuum.h (for my GSoC project) I found:
typedef struct VacAttrStats *VacAttrStatsP;
and then throughout the code sometimes VacAttrStats *foo is used and 
sometimes VacAttrStatsP bar is used.

Call this obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it kind of bothers me. Is 
there a reason for using both notations? If not, then which one is 
preferred and should I write a patch for it or should I just take a pill 
or two and focus on important things?

Regards,
Jan
