Blind typedefs are very simple. They are composed of the inherited type, and an optional default value.

Semantics

"Blind" type definitions are called that because they cannot do fancy things like define new members on the type they inherit, but they can inherit from primitive types, pointers, and arrays. This can be useful for adding extra semantics to code, and for defining methods on things that don't need to be a whole object.
