* There is the trans::adt module and the Repr enum which look very

flag)). But otherwise it seems the place to go for a definite field list
of composite types.
I think adt is the place for this kind of thing. Feel free to add
additional functionality to it if you need.
Thanks Patrick! I will probably do that. It's not much that is needed here.
This still leaves open the question of internal runtime structures, such
as heap boxes, vecs, and possibly pointers.
Unsafe and region pointers seem to be regular machine-word sized values,
but I think I read somewhere that some pointers (to traits? something
about sized-types?) included an additional word. If somebody can easily
point me to some document or specific source code describing this, that
would be great.
If not, it's OK too, I can always find out by looking into the generated
LLVM bitcode :-)
