/* Replace the contents of ntype with the type *type.
When building recursive types, it is necessary to update a type's
definition after people already have references to it. The C
language's concept of an `incomplete type' is an acknowledgement of
this. */
In order to build recursive types, it's inevitable that we'll need
to update types in place --- but this sort of indiscriminate
smashing is ugly, and needs to be replaced with something more
controlled. For example, Daniel Jacobowitz has suggested moving
the fields common to a set of c/v variants into their own object,
which the variants would share.
This function does not handle the replacement type being
cv-qualified; it could be easily fixed to, but it would be better
to just change the whole approach. */
