Well actually I was thinking that someone might, say, write, say, a
Freenet discussion forum client which people could use, and then only
the author of the client would need to know about Sesil - I certainly
don't expect the general public to learn or understand Sesil!

No, there are only 3 datatypes, Number (represented as a Java double),
String, and Boolean.
