Description

This patch allows type annotations to be applied to base types. The one thing about it that scared me a bit was that we were allocating a new type object for each base type with annotations, so checks like

if (get_true_type(ttype) == g_type_i32)

would fail if ttype had annotations. But I grepped for all uses of the global type objects and didn't find anything like that.
