Look a few lines below. :-) In gigi we manipulate both full-fledged Ada types
with RM bounds and GCC types without RM bounds so it's more convenient to have
a single accessor macro.

Right, but TYPE_PRECISION isn't prescribed by the C ABI, is it? More seriously
I think that your suggestion is the way to go and I made the same when we were
fiddling with boolean_type_node in free_lang_data:

So fine with me, as long as all the languages play by the same rules.
