If you've got a module that only defines a type with no function
definitions, you don't need the .ml file:

foo.ml:
let foo = Bar.A

bar.mli:
type t = A | B

In my eventual patch to switch over to using packed modules, I was
thinking about making a TypeKind.mli that has just the type interface.
However, I think I'd prefer to actually have this in the Type.ml{,i}
files, but that would break source compatibility.
