 * ACE Common Data Representation (CDR) basic types.
 *
 * The current implementation assumes that the host has 1-byte,
 * 2-byte and 4-byte integral types, and that it has single
 * precision and double precision IEEE floats.
 * Those assumptions are pretty good these days, with Crays being
 * the only known exception.
