will be the argument type name as it was declared with any
whitespace removed. If argument type name is an unsigned
scalar type (i.e. unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned
int, unsigned long), uchar, ushort, uint and ulong will
be returned. The argument type name returned does not
include any type qualifiers.
