// Type defines and describes Noms types, both custom and built-in.
// Desc provides more details of the type. It may contain only a types.NomsKind, in the case of
//     primitives, or it may contain additional information -- e.g. element Types for compound type
//     specializations, field descriptions for structs, etc. Either way, checking Kind() allows code
//     to understand how to interpret the rest of the data.
// If Kind() refers to a primitive, then Desc has no more info.
// If Kind() refers to List, Map, Set or Ref, then Desc is a list of Types describing the element type(s).
// If Kind() refers to Struct, then Desc contains a []Field.
