Think of page tables this is essentially a table of tables of tables. I also was meh on triple pointers until I found this use case.

Yes, but the third level isn't a "triple pointer", but a pointer to the next level. A page table level isn't just a pointer-to-a-pointer but carries information. So a three-level table doesn't have `void***` in the top level, but `PageTableLevel2*`.

As colejohnson66 noted. I would use typedef table, typedef page, etc. A void* is a pointer to the void. A page table is a table of pages.
