Tom, I like:
"thing" instead of "object" -> any of these below
"the" instead of "atom" or "number" -> single numeral of any value
"set" instead of "sequence" -> 0 or more numerals or sets of any value
"int" instead of "integer" -> yes, old good single integer, for short.
"string" must to be something separate user defined :
ANSY, ASCII, UTF8, UTF16, UNICODE, ISO, KOI8R, KOI8U ...
just road to hell.
RDS had big problems with these thingies in 1.* series.
And we can have these very handy types just now in standard EU.
I already have a secret nanolib for my internal works on 3.2ru.
