I believe you are mistaken; the everything-is-an-object idea implies
that

	NUMERIC
	STRING
	CONTAINER-ARRAY
	CONTAINER-HASH
	COMPILED-REGEX
	CODEBLOCK


are all types of objects, NUMERIC splits into a whole fleet of them
depending on if BIGINT and BIGRAT get in.


And not all core-exceptions schemes require objects of their own;
the things getting thrown are often parsable STRINGs.

	COMPILED-STRUCT-DEFINITION

may be in there too.
