---------
Each type in the libxl interface is represented by an object of type
-idl.Type (or a subclass thereof). Every local variable defined by
-the .idl file must be an instance of idl.Type (e.g. you may not
-define Python functions or any other construct other than defining
-variables)
+idl.Type (or a subclass thereof). Every local variable defined by the
+.idl file must be an instance of idl.Type (e.g. you may not define
+Python functions or any other construct other than defining variables)
The name of the type must be passed as the first argument to the
constructor when defining a new type. The name given should not
namespace element while Type.rawname is always set to the 'base' name
of the type.
-The idl.Type base class has several other properties which apply
-to all types. The properties are set by passing a named parameter to
-the constructor.

Type.namespace: (default: "libxl_")
Each EnumerationValue has the following properties:
- EnumerationValue.enum Reference to containing Enumeration
+ EnumerationValue.enum Reference to containing Enumeration
EnumerationValue.name The C name of this value, including
the namespace and typename of the
containing Enumeration (e.g.
the namespace but including the
typename of the containing
Enumeration (e.g. "FOOENUM_VALUE")
- EnumerationValue.valuename The name of this value, excluding the
- name of the containing Enumeration
- and any namespace (e.g. "VALUE")
- EnumerationValue.value The integer value associated with this name.

idl.Aggregate
Each field has the following properties:
- Field.type The type of the member (a idl.Type).

Field.name The name of the member (can be None for anonymous
- fields).
- Field.const Boolean, true if the member is const.
