The mine one is more generic I think, and while it adds new TYPE_CODE it
can be used for other purposes as well (IIRC recently someone committed
a patch that depended on this type code but had to revert it).

I'm afraid people don't know how to use the complex, nested
TYPE_CODE_SET, while the usage of TYPE_CODE_FLAGS is pretty simple.
If would change it so that it isn't c-specific, but rather language
independent, would you consider approval? Other things (eg. length of
the flagword) aren't IMHO that important for now.
