You don't need to do a lookup table for all types. Retrieve the PTypeData
of the PTypeInfo (using GetTypeData) and check the OrdType if it's a
tkInteger. Based on that you map the size.

For now that is correct as for everything else extended RTTI is required
(though to be more precise attributes can be used for all type
declarations, not only classes).
