There are other type names, such as bool; but none that give any
advantage I could find.  All are actually variants under the hood, so
all we're doing is changing what we call the same thing.  As for
handles, they're unsigned ints, and thus really not distinguishable
from a plain number.

Cool.  For completeness, any suggestion for Handle?  Also, I'm curious
whether other subtypes can sometimes be used even though direct support is
lacking, e.g., a real number, date, or array.
