/**
 * This is the representation of a JavaScript type, disassociated from java
 * Classes, with the basis for conversion weight, mapping to ASM types
 * and implementing the ByteCodeOps interface which tells this type
 * how to generate code for various operations.
 *
 * Except for ClassEmitter, this is the only class that has to know
 * about the underlying byte code generation system.
 *
 * The different types know how to generate bytecode for the different
 * operations, inherited from BytecodeOps, that they support. This avoids
 * if/else chains depending on type in several cases and allows for
 * more readable and shorter code
 *
 * The Type class also contains logic used by the type inference and
 * for comparing types against each other, as well as the concepts
 * of narrower to wider types. The widest type is an object. Ideally we
 * would like as narrow types as possible for code to be efficient, e.g
 * INTs rather than OBJECTs
