One of the things I had in mind when writing this patchset was to make
sure that what was there already was enough to write something real on
top of. The only thing I found I needed to add was the signed field,
and that was enough at least for the Perl case, where everything can be
mapped into 3 types - signed, unsigned and string.

Other languages might demand more - I haven't looked into it - so I
couldn't say whether anything else is needed, but it would seem to me
that the current combination of type description strings, sizes and
signs for each field should be enough information to allow any field to
be passed into any scripting interpreter. Actually, you could probably
forget about signs and sizes and just manage on type description strings
alone, if you had a typemap that mapped from the C type descriptions to
the types expected by a given interpreter. That might be what some
language implementations would end up doing, but at least for the Perl
implementation, it's much more convenient to have the is_signed field.
