Okay. I'll take a stab at implementing this. 

As I understand it, these are the changes that need to happen:

1. Remove the recently added ASTContext::getByteSize() and
ASTContext::getTypeSizeInBytes().
2. Add a new class (named TypeSize, say) that has two methods: inBits()
and inBytes().
3. Change the return type of ASTContext::getTypeSize() from uint64_t to
TypeSize.
4. Update all calls to getTypeSize() to explicity choose the bit or byte
size.

Is this what you had in mind?
