jayvdb added a comment. Pywikibot does use the data type, quite extensively. e.g. https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/pywikibot/page.py#L3951
They are mapped to classes, and mapped to value-types. With something like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/247080 , we can easily create those mappings dynamically at startup, and provide fallback classes to unknown data types.
