 Appendix C Table of Type Descriptors
 ************************************
 
 The type descriptor is the character which follows the type number and
 an equals sign.  It specifies what kind of type is being defined.
  String Field, for more information about their use.
 
 `DIGIT'
 `('
      Type reference; see  String Field.
 
 `-'
      Reference to builtin type; see  Negative Type Numbers.
 
 `#'
      Method (C++); see  Method Type Descriptor.
 
 `*'
      Pointer; see  Miscellaneous Types.
 
 `&'
      Reference (C++).
 
 `@'
      Type Attributes (AIX); see  String Field.  Member (class
      and variable) type (GNU C++); see  Member Type Descriptor.
 
 `a'
      Array; see  Arrays.
 
 `A'
      Open array; see  Arrays.
 
 `b'
      Pascal space type (AIX); see  Miscellaneous Types.  Builtin
      integer type (Sun); see  Builtin Type Descriptors.  Const
      and volatile qualified type (OS9000).
 
 `B'
      Volatile-qualified type; see  Miscellaneous Types.
 
 `c'
      Complex builtin type (AIX); see  Builtin Type Descriptors.
      Const-qualified type (OS9000).
 
 `C'
      COBOL Picture type.  See AIX documentation for details.
 
 `d'
      File type; see  Miscellaneous Types.
 
 `D'
      N-dimensional dynamic array; see  Arrays.
 
 `e'
      Enumeration type; see  Enumerations.
 
 `E'
      N-dimensional subarray; see  Arrays.
 
 `f'
      Function type; see  Function Types.
 
 `F'
      Pascal function parameter; see  Function Types
 
 `g'
      Builtin floating point type; see  Builtin Type Descriptors.
 
 `G'
      COBOL Group.  See AIX documentation for details.
 
 `i'
      Imported type (AIX); see  Cross-References.
      Volatile-qualified type (OS9000).
 
 `k'
      Const-qualified type; see  Miscellaneous Types.
 
 `K'
      COBOL File Descriptor.  See AIX documentation for details.
 
 `M'
      Multiple instance type; see  Miscellaneous Types.
 
 `n'
      String type; see  Strings.
 
 `N'
      Stringptr; see  Strings.
 
 `o'
      Opaque type; see  Typedefs.
 
 `p'
      Procedure; see  Function Types.
 
 `P'
      Packed array; see  Arrays.
 
 `r'
      Range type; see  Subranges.
 
 `R'
      Builtin floating type; see  Builtin Type Descriptors (Sun).
      Pascal subroutine parameter; see  Function Types (AIX).
      Detecting this conflict is possible with careful parsing (hint: a
      Pascal subroutine parameter type will always contain a comma, and
      a builtin type descriptor never will).
 
 `s'
      Structure type; see  Structures.
 
 `S'
      Set type; see  Miscellaneous Types.
 
 `u'
      Union; see  Unions.
 
 `v'
      Variant record.  This is a Pascal and Modula-2 feature which is
      like a union within a struct in C.  See AIX documentation for
      details.
 
 `w'
      Wide character; see  Builtin Type Descriptors.
 
 `x'
      Cross-reference; see  Cross-References.
 
 `Y'
      Used by IBM's xlC C++ compiler (for structures, I think).
 
 `z'
      gstring; see  Strings.
