Subject: Ada0Y anonymous access to self type

Hello,
I am trying to understand the Ada0Y goodies already implemented in gcc
mainline. I've just run into such an issue:
type Foo_Type;
-- This compiles
type Bar_Type is record
Foo : access Foo_Type;
end record;
-- This does not
type Foo_Type is record
Next : access Foo_Type;
end record;
For the Foo_Type record the compiler complains that "type declaration
cannot refer to itself", but does this restriction serve any purpose?
There was something about taming the "access types proliferation" in Ada0Y...
Regards,
Wojtek
