A type descriptor is a record which holds information
about a type. The first slot in the record must be a symbol naming the type,
and type-of relies on this to return the type of record
objects. No other type descriptor slot is used by Emacs; they are
free for use by Lisp extensions.
An example of a type descriptor is any instance of
cl-structure-class.
