I need to have a "something" to retrieve and pass around to hold all
available information about a type. Including classes, interfaces and
primitives.
Because of ClassInfo cannot have information about primitives, I need to
work with TypeInfo.
Because of I have that need to retrieve that "something" from any object
reference also, i need a way from classinfo to typeinfo.
