Hi Talin,

The new type system allows you to name types and, if I got it rght,
that's unique and immutable.

You could use that fact, plus some metadata, to group your values and
use one annotation per group.

Should be easy to iterate through all values in a given function
testing for a given (unique) type.

cheers,
