I reused @AlenkaF 's idea of a table here, but I changed the contents quite a bit. Some open questions: * for the type parameters, should we use a description in natural language (such as "bit width" or "signedness") or the physical parameter names in `Schema.fbs` (such as `bitWidth` or `is_signed`)? * should we explain the type parameters in full (this would result in a more lengthy though more informative doc), or should we just keep a couple explanatory notes as here? * should we repeat the term "Layout" under the "Physical Memory Layout" column? For example, write "Fixed-size Primitive Layout" instead of the terser "Fixed-size Primitive". -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
