[m-dev.] Foreign type compare and unification

I have been thinking about treating foreign types like the c_pointer type
for their RTTI and comparision and unification predicates, ie a foreign type
in the compiler will be treated as if it was an equivalence type where the
RHS of the equivalence is c_pointer.

Any thoughts/objections?
