The @ Type Descriptor

The @ type descriptor is for a member (class and variable) type. It is followed by type information for the offset basetype, a comma, and type information for the type of the field being pointed to. (FIXME: this is acknowledged to be gibberish. Can anyone say what really goes here?).

Note that there is a conflict between this and type attributes (see String Field); both use type descriptor @. Fortunately, the @ type descriptor used in this C++ sense always will be followed by a digit, (, or -, and type attributes never start with those things.
