/// The AbstractTypeUser class is an interface to be implemented by classes who
/// could possibly use an abstract type.  Abstract types are denoted by the
/// isAbstract flag set to true in the Type class.  These are classes that
/// contain an Opaque type in their structure somewhere.
///
/// Classes must implement this interface so that they may be notified when an
/// abstract type is resolved.  Abstract types may be resolved into more 
/// concrete types through: linking, parsing, and bitcode reading.  When this 
/// happens, all of the users of the type must be updated to reference the new,
/// more concrete type.  They are notified through the AbstractTypeUser 
/// interface.
///
/// In addition to this, AbstractTypeUsers must keep the use list of the
/// potentially abstract type that they reference up-to-date.  To do this in a
/// nice, transparent way, the PATypeHandle class is used to hold "Potentially
/// Abstract Types", and keep the use list of the abstract types up-to-date.
