I believe it would confuse users because everything at the python level wrapped up in aquisition magic, so the standard type stuff would be useless. Myabe there is a security issue but I can't imagine what it would be.

How do I use type() in Python scripts. You do not, it is private. It seems that type() is restricted code (why?) It would confuse many users.
Er... sorry, I don't buy that (actually, your answer has got me all confused myself ;-)
I'd expect that there be a security thing involved somewhere (I don't see it right now, but who knows what you can do with a type object...)
