This CL removes the Config templatization from the types. It is not necessary anymore, after the HeapTypes have been removed. The CL also changes the type hierarchy - the specific type kinds are not inner classes of the Type class and they do not inherit from Type. This is partly because it seems impossible to make this work without templates. Instead, a new TypeBase class is introduced and all the structural (i.e., non-bitset) types inherit from it. The bitset type still requires the bit-munging hack and some nasty reinterpret-casts to pretend bitsets are of type Type*. Additionally, there is now the same hack for TypeBase - all pointers to the sub-types of TypeBase are reinterpret-casted to Type*. This is to keep the type constructors in inline method definitions (although it is unclear how much that actually buys us). In future, we would like to move to a model where we encapsulate Type* into a class (or possibly use Type where we used to use Type*). This would loosen the coupling between bitset size and pointer size, and eventually we would be able to have more bits.
