I understand this part, but the main part of my question is about
the fact that, most of the time, we manipulate "struct value" objects,
which may not represent addressable entities. For instance, let's say
I have a struct value whose type is a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. If I need to
resolve the value's type, how should I be doing it? Perhaps, the
question in itself suggest the introduction of a function that would
take a value, and returned a value whose time is resolved?
