Ah, this reminds me: another weird thing IMHO in CMF, is that Type is
catalogged but Type is the human-readable version (the title). It
would be much better if Metatype (content_meta_type) was
catalogged. Also the allowed_content_types variable in a
TypeInformation contains this human-readable version, which means that
whenever you change the title you have to go through all your types
and reselect the new one in the "Allowed content types".
