`MR_TypeInfo' is the name of the type used by the Mercury runtime.
This is a typedef for a pointer to a C struct with appropriate field names.

`MR_Type_Info' is the name of the C type that corresponds to the
type used by the --high-level-code grades of the Mercury compiler for
the Mercury `private_builtin__type_info' type.  This is either
	(a) for --no-high-level-data,
	    a typedef for `MR_Word'
or
	(b) for --high-level-data,
	    a typedef for a pointer to an opaque struct type.
