/**
 * @defgroup types Datatypes
 *
 * @brief The built-in datatypes. The remaining datatypes are autogenerated from
 * XML descriptions as they are all enums or structures made up of the built-in
 * datatypes.
 *
 * All datatypes have similar functions with a common postfix. DO NOT CALL THESE
 * FUNCTIONS WITH NULL-POINTERS IF IT IS NOT EXPLICITLY PERMITTED.
 *
 * - _new: Allocates the memory for the type and runs _init on the returned
 *   variable. Returns null if no memory could be allocated.
 *
 * - _init: Sets all members to a "safe" standard, usually zero. Arrays (e.g.
 *   for strings) are set to a length of -1.
 *
 * - _copy: Copies a datatype. This performs a deep copy that iterates over the
 *    members. Copying into variants with an external data source is not
 *    permitted. If copying fails, a deleteMembers is performed and an error
 *    code returned.
 *
 * - _delete: Frees the memory where the datatype was stored. This performs an
 *   _deleteMembers internally if required.
 *
 * - _deleteMembers: Frees the memory of dynamically sized members (e.g. a
 *   string) of a datatype. This is useful when the datatype was allocated on
 *   the stack, whereas the dynamically sized members is heap-allocated. To
 *   reuse the variable, the remaining members (not dynamically allocated) need
 *   to be cleaned up with an _init.
