Thank you Bertrand, this helps me a lot!
It seems that comparing to zero is a bit tricky. I only get results with
string s; // or string s="lolcat";
_typeof(s) == _typeof(0);
Is there a neater way to do this?

Another problem is that 'string s;' or 'string s=0;' evaluate to 'int' when
using %t and 'zero_type()' doesn't help either.
Not a problem for pike but for any other language using the generated XML.
As a workaround, have you considered using typeof()/_typeof() ?
----8<----8<----8<----
string s; string t=0; string u=""; string v="foo";
zero_type(s);
(1) Result: 0
zero_type(t);
(2) Result: 0
zero_type(u);
(3) Result: 0
zero_type(v);
(4) Result: 0
typeof(s);
(5) Result: string
typeof(t);
(6) Result: string
typeof(u);
(7) Result: string
typeof(v);
(8) Result: string
_typeof(s);
(9) Result: zero
_typeof(t);
(10) Result: zero
_typeof(u);
(11) Result: string
_typeof(v);
(12) Result: string
