The original proposal has the advantage that
(setq x (what-were-we-talking-about x))
will retain the type. Almost as easy would be to use the values
(type-of 0) and (type-of "")
(after evaluation, of course). There is no similarly straightforward
mapping from a number to 'numberp and a string to 'stringp AFAIR.
