I can't tell you why they added it but it is faster than type, particularly if you are using it inside some kind of tight loop. I think Tamar did some benchmarking on it a while ago.

I can live with it as long as I know. But I do wonder why vartype was even invented when type worked as expected. Though thinking about it as you mentioned it is looking at variables not objects. It does seem to fail on type "U" returns.
