Hello all,
I just realized (because John showed me) that this bug report:
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796137
and this mail thread are related.
regards,
Christoph

OK, and enums are immune to run-time changes implied by a plugin
module, but there are better ways than strings to tag types. Glib
provides Gquarks for just this purpose and even provides a function to
get one on a GObject's type name:
g_type_qname(G_OBJECT_TYPE()).
These APIs did not exist in 2002 when this code was written.
C++ obviously has a different type model and we'll need to
rework/replace QofID, QofContainer, and QofQuery to match it so
changing them now to use quarks instead of strings would be wasted
effort.
