This is the wrong way, I think. Handling type correctly clearly is a problem that has to be solved in Basic. Other problems in other lan- guage bindings have to be solved there. Otherwise designing new API would end up in painfully searching a way around all kind of obstac- les that may be set by different language bindings.
