I read this as "types for object sizes, and types for alignments."  Then
I thought it means "Types and alignments for object sizes".  Then I read
the patch and realized the first is better.  Maybe this?

* Important Data Types::        Types for representing object sizes and alignments.

(I think any added word in there disambiguates the meaning)
