[PATCHv3 0/3] Add Type.is_scalar and Type.is_signed properties

[Andrew Burgess]

Thanks for all the feedback on V1, and V2.  Additionally, Simon gave
some awesome suggestions on IRC

The new V3 series is a complete rewrite, main points are:

  - New Type.is_scalar property in patch #1,

  - Now have a Type.is_signed property (patch #2), which is either
    True or False.  Attempting to read this property on a non-scalar
    type will raise a ValueError.

  - Finally, patch #3 adds a test for to cover the 'char' is different
    to 'signed char' and 'unsigned char' issue.  This characteristic
    should be detected by simply comparing types.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Andrew
