+- The type legalization logic has been completely rewritten, and is now
+more powerful (it supports arbitrary precision integer types for example)
+and hopefully more correct.
+The type legalizer converts operations on types that are not natively

+natively supported types.
+The old type legalizer is still available and will be used if
