[M3devel] unable to put M3CG.TypeUID into a record

[Jay K]

This is one reasonable way to fix it:

I still really don't like how M3CG.TypeUID is defined.
Asserting that a type fits in 32bitsshould not preclude putting it into a RECORD.
Currently you cannot put M3CG.TypeUID into a record.
The following does not work:
RECORD whatever = typeid: M3CG.TypeUID; END;
That seems really absurd to me.
