[LLVMdev] The definition of getTypeSize
...that getTypeSizeInBits corresponds to (1) and (2), as
shown by it returning 36 for i36. This is like gcc's TYPE_PRECISION,
and is a useful concept - but I think the name should be changed, since
right now it implicitly suggests it returns 8*getTypeSize. If no one
objects, I will rename it to getBitsUsedByType.
Currently getTypeSize doesn't seem to correspond to any of these possibilities,
at least for APInt's: the current implementation returns the APInt bitwidth rounded
up to a multiple of the alignment. That makes it sound like it's trying to be (5).

Isn't it the other way around? Type information should be specified
in bits, not in bytes. So getTypeSizeInBits returns the exact size in
bits. I don't see how the new name is any clearer. I actually prefer
the current name.
