//! What a C type is made of, before any of it has been interned.
//!
//! Design: `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section 7.1.
//!
//! Everything here is `Copy` and small, because [`TypeKind`] is the interning key and a key
//! that owns a heap allocation cannot be hashed cheaply or compared cheaply. The two parts of
//! a type that are genuinely variable length, a function's parameter list and a record's
//! members, live in side tables and are referred to by index.
