Yes; I think that makes sense, unless someone produces a clearer 
definition of what TYPE_SIZE means that isn't redundant.

If you find a particular use of TYPE_SIZE is using a size that isn't 
correct for your type whose precision is not a multiple of BITS_PER_UNIT, 
then in my model the correct fix is to change that use of TYPE_SIZE rather 
than to change the value of TYPE_SIZE for that type - and such a change 
(to use TYPE_PRECISION, maybe) would also be incremental progress towards 
eliminating TYPE_SIZE.
