Inherit from FFIOpaqueObject
+ initialize TypeMap

E.g. if I want to use libstuff which defines the following structure:
struct stuffstruct { typeA a; typeB b; } stufftype;
I might know they're integers, but not the size, signed vs. unsigned, etc.
The definitions of typeA and typeB are buried in multiple layers of header files, dependent on #if tests, can be different sizes on different platforms (e.g. Linux vs. MacOS), etc.?
Is this documented somewhere?
Thanks, Alistair
