Yes it is a kludge that the abstract definitions of builtin types are
used to force the generation of the RTTI for these types.  However I
also find it kludgy that some of the builtin types are declared
abstractly and some not.  IMHO I believe that all types available in
Mercury should be declared somewhere.
