This; and if you didn't specify a type, the type is Any. Which is not quite
the root of the class/type hierarchy; that'd be Mu. The difference is that
Mu can hold junctions, whereas Any and its subclasses will force
"autothreading" of junctions (basically, computing all possible values "in
parallel").
