Interesting bug.  The basic types were broken by != since they are
declared in ORBit so the pointer is equal.  For user defined typecodes
that obviously isn't guaranteed.

Comparing type->kind doesn't get us much closer because of the struct
and sequence types.  Do we need a type equality function in ORBit?
