   * @class TypeCode
   *
   * @brief The CORBA TypeCode class. It maintains the in-memory
   * representation of any OMG CORBA IDL data type.
   *
   * Implements the CORBA::TypeCode interface specified by CORBA 2.0
   * spec.  Typecodes essentially consist of just the CDR octets
   * that get marshaled and unmarshaled, and this code knows how to
   * parse those octets and answer questions CORBA's TypeCode APIs
   * require.
   * @par
   * A TypeCode describes data.  This one's as thin a wrapper around
   * CDR octet sequences as is practical.  There are guesses here
   * about how the OMG C++ mapping and CORBA 2.0 IfR specification
   * will interact.
   *
   * @note Use TypeCode_ptr, except in code (e.g. output of and
   *       OMG-IDL / compiler) that needs to create typecodes from
   *       their octet-sequence encodings.
   *
   * @note This isn't well tuned performance-wise.  Given how much is
   *       variable (byte order, alignment) it's clear tuning has its
   *       limits with respect to CDR bytecode interpretation.
   *
   *
   * @note (THREADING) Typecodes are readonly data structures, and the
   *       only mutual exclusion relates to reference counting and
   *       construction.
