I chose to put it right before "C Interface" because of this section:

The internal representation of a DataType is critically important when interfacing with C code and several functions are available to inspect these details. isbitstype(T::DataType) returns true if T is stored with C-compatible alignment. fieldoffset(T::DataType, i::Integer) returns the (byte) offset for field i relative to the start of the type.

From #47798; cc @logankilpatrick
