This PR is mostly just reorganizing the code handling typecodes across modules into a consistent ordering. Having a consistent ordering helps comparing implementations and spot irregularities (which may indicate a bug, and indeed, there were a few minor ones related to casting).
The ordering I adopted is based on what was used by
TypecodeOpsandarray(although even there there were some inconsistencies), grouping by typecode klass:Within one klass, the ordering is by size, within the same size, signed then unsigned, or regular then exotic.
This change is meant to be innocent, primarily code reordering, which is already difficult to review looking at the diffs. The more challenging typecode issues, like handling of
l/L(are currently incorrect on non-Windows platforms),e(is incomplete), orn/N(don't know what to do with that yet) are left for dedicated PRs.
