// describing the type.  Each type has a different struct so that struct can
// be the kind.  For example, if typ is the reflect type for an int8, typ is
// a pointer to a reflect.Int8Type struct; if typ is the reflect type for a
// function, typ is a pointer to a reflect.FuncType struct; we use the type
// of that pointer as the kind.

// typeKind returns a reflect.Type representing typ's kind.  The kind is the
// general kind of type:
//	int8, int16, int, uint, float, func, chan, struct, and so on.

// kind, all int8 types have the same kind, and so on.
