+ * Reference:RFC 6020.
+ * The "type" statement takes as an argument a string that is the name
+ *  of a YANG built-in type or a derived type, followed by an optional
+ *  block of sub-statements that are used to put further restrictions
+ *  on the type.
+ *
+ *  The restrictions that can be applied depend on the type being restricted.
+ *  The type's sub-statements
+ *
