// to match the representation of some types in the gc compiler:
//
// - byte and rune lose their alias name and simply stand for
// uint8 and int32 respectively
// - embedded interfaces get flattened (the embedding info is lost,
// and certain recursive interface types cannot be printed anymore)
//
// This makes it easier to compare packages computed with the type-
// checker vs packages imported from gc export data.
//
// Caution: This flag affects all uses of WriteType, globally.
// It is only provided for testing in conjunction with
// gc-generated data. It may be removed at any time.
