TypeSystems

We want the type system to be serialization agnostic so we can support different backends.
Our current implementation ideas revolve around starting from the serialization format specified in protocol buffers. This gives us the following types
| Name |
|---|
| double |
| float |
| int32 |
| int64 |
| uint32 |
| uint64 |
| sint32 |
| sint64 |
| fixed32 |
| fixed64 |
| sfixed32 |
| sfixed64 |
| bool |
| string |
| bytes |
There are some additional types that would be nice to add:
| Name | Basic Types Built From |
|---|---|
| Fixed Length Arrays | bytes |
| UUID | Fixed Length Array [16] |
| URI | Variable Length Array of Strings |
| Time | |
| Duration | |
| flags (enum where each enumerant can be toggled) | |
| Vector3f | |
| Vector2f | |
| Vector3d | |
| Vector2d | |
| Quaternion | |
| Angle (0-2pi) | |
| Bounding box/sphere (NULL defined) |
