Fair enough. I suppose I was focusing more on "...the one data type
in MUMPS" than the statement that typing is contextually derived. I
would consider those two assertions mutually contradictory, but that
is a minor point. The important thing is the type polymorphism based
on context, as you state.

Strings are polymorphic as to contextual type, but they are always
strings,
