	InstancePath	Gets the relative / absolute access path to the instance (with periods (.))
	IsBitType	Gets a value indicating whether this instance is not basing on a full DataType but instead of some sort of bit mapping (Inherited from IBitSize.)
	IsByteAligned	Indicates that the Size of the Object is Byte aligned (BitSize % 8 == 0) (Inherited from IBitSize.)
	IsPointer	Indicates that the IInstance represents a Pointer type (Pointer TO)
	IsReference	Indicates that the IInstance represents a Reference type (REFERENCE TO)
	IsStatic	Gets a value indicating whether this IInstance is static.
	Size	Gets the size of the object in bytes or Bits dependant on IsBitType (Inherited from IBitSize.)
