We are 90% of the way to user-defined types. With the $<type>
objects, primitive types act ALMOST like frobs. The only major
difference I see is that infix operators are legal on primitive types
and not on frobs. Thus my addition to the wish list...
1) infix operator map to a $<type> object method (defaulting
to their built in functionality if not defined.)
ex: 2 + 2 ---> $integer.plus(2,2)
2) infix operators be extended to work on frobs in the same way.
#2 above is actually the more needed, #1 is just a nicety to keep
things logicly consistant.
