Review handling of fixed-length types and Type.size_of #5
Description
Type.size_of currently behaves oddly in the case where it is passed:
- a representation of a fixed-length type; and
- a value that does not have that length.
We should decide on a consistent strategy for dealing with these cases. See discussion in mirage/irmin#1030 (comment).
