//
// This file contains the declaration of the Type class.  For more "Type" type
// stuff, look in DerivedTypes.h.
//
// Note that instances of the Type class are immutable: once they are created,
// they are never changed.  Also note that only one instance of a particular 
// type is ever created.  Thus seeing if two types are equal is a matter of 
// doing a trivial pointer comparison.
//
// Types, once allocated, are never free'd, unless they are an abstract type
// that is resolved to a more concrete type.
//
// Opaque types are simple derived types with no state.  There may be many
// different Opaque type objects floating around, but two are only considered
// identical if they are pointer equals of each other.  This allows us to have 
// two opaque types that end up resolving to different concrete types later.
//
// Opaque types are also kinda weird and scary and different because they have
// to keep a list of uses of the type.  When, through linking, parsing, or
// bytecode reading, they become resolved, they need to find and update all
// users of the unknown type, causing them to reference a new, more concrete
// type.  Opaque types are deleted when their use list dwindles to zero users.
