Yes, I thought this was interesting. A useful change, but no compatibility
setting for this - all previous code that used OB Get type will need to be
updated for version 16R/17. OB Get type can now return Is Date for dates, but
it has a compatibility setting where it can be controlled.
Also noteworthy for version 17 (not sure about 16R).
C_PICTURE($picture)
C_OBJECT($object)
$object:=New object("picture";$picture)
$type:=OB Get type($object;"picture") `Returns Is Object
$valueType:=Value type($object.picture) `Returns Is Picture
