I just discovered that in API requests (`wbsetclaim`, `wbeditentity`, etc.),
the `type` is //not//, as I had assumed, optional – if you omit it, you’ll get
some sort of error (though it seems to vary depending on situation – I’ve seen
`invalid-claim` error

Even Pywikibot, which still calls Statements “Claims”, doesn’t read the
`type` when deserializing a Statement (`Claim.fromJSON`), although it does emit
a `type` when serializing it (`Claim.toJSON`).
