GRF... I think changing them to strings would inherit
too much overhead. In particular, switch statements
would turn into a long if (!strcmp()) {} else if (!strcmp()) {}...
One would think that all those strcmps would be a lot of extra
overhead compared to the switch().
Instead, I think I just want to use a guint32 and let modules
choose their own (unique) type-value (as opposed to their
own unique type-string).
Do you have a preference of strings vs. integers?
