* Compiler used was the latest stable 1.8 build.

I was messing around a bit and i tried using typedefs to create arbitrary types (i found later you can only create typenames for functions)

Anyway, this stuff happened:

enum {
    Chihuahua,
    Bulldog
} Dog;

public void OnPluginStart() {
    Dog = 42;
    Dog = true;
    Dog = Bulldog;
}

It gives me no errors, what's going on? I think i'm creating an anonymous enum (fair enough) but what is "Dog", is it a variable? Why can i do whatever i want with it without any errors?

Also, why am i allowed to do this without any errors, perhaps some leftover deprecated pawn code? Methodmap prototype?

struct Data {
    public int some_int;           // It wants the public keyword, otherwise it gets mad.
    public char name[32];
}

public void OnPluginStart() {
    Data data;

    //data.some_int                // No errors up til' this point, i'm guessing i'm not allowed to do this because the '.' operator was only implemented for methodmaps.
}

You declared a variable named Dog with an anonymous enum as its type.

It is a feature from original Pawn, but it's been mostly removed. "Mostly" because it's still used for the plugin info struct (which is probably where you saw it?). However, most (but maybe not all) ways to do anything except initialize it are gone.
