IMO C Data Interface is just representing a struct as a string for
expedience, so it also follows the Flatbuffers format. I think putting time
unit and everything at the top level might get messy. I'd say it'd be clearest
to accept basically these:
```
"type": "tDm", // C Data Interface shorthand for expedience (always
"type": "struct", // Simple shorthand for non-parameterized types
"type": { // Be verbose for parameterized types
"name": "duration",
"time_unit": "MILLISECOND"
},
```
Or if we want to minimize things I think we can stick with only taking the C
Data Interface shorthand to start with while letting people bikeshed the
user-friendly shorthands in the background.
