It's hard to say. What you've described sounds close to a neutral type system implemented in metadata. In particular, ". It also defines a set of language-neutral formal rules that LLVM codegen follows to determine whether a given pair of accesses are allowed to overlap by rules of the input language. " and "the base type followed by field descriptors" etc Despite the
