// typekind
// --------
// typekinds are all idl defined
// typekinds can be used to create user defined types
// a basetype can be specialized
// an enum-type can be defined using items
// a struct-type can be defined using fields
// a list can be defined holding a type T, where T can be any defined type
// types
// -----
// types are either:
// * idl-defined
// * basetypes
// * user-defined
// * deftype
// * enum
// * struct
// * list
// * undefined
// any defined type can be instantiated.
// Generic types
// generic typeskinds list, pair, set
// can only be used to define types
// they can not be used as types (e.g. in params, fields)
