Review comment:
       P.S. If every call to `as_type()` happened at a fixed number of function 
calls `n` from the calling environment, then we could simply evaluate the 
defused expression `type` there, using `eval.parent(type, n)`. That would allow 
us to encapsulate all the NSE evaluation in `as_type()`. But that's not the 
case.
