Companion

The sole mutable PrimitiveTypeDescriptor, only used during early instantiation.

The total count of Types enum values.

Create a partially-initialized primitive type with the given name. The type's parent will be set later, to facilitate arbitrary construction order. Set these fields to nil to ensure pointer safety. We will make all such objects shared after all the linkages have been set up.

Extract the Types enum value's Enum.ordinal from this primitive type.
