Comment (by garrett-eclipse):

 Random thought, could we constrain the core list of types to ensure
 extensibility (via plugins, etc) making it consistent. But, on top of this
 allow the registration of new symbolic types that require being associated
 to one of the core 3/4 types. This creates a hierarchical structure where
 the core types ensure developers have a consistent base to associate their
 features too, while allowing those with more custom needs to be able to
 extend the core types. If their extended types are popular enough other
 developers may switch from using core types to these popular custom types
 if there comes to light more specific needs.

 I agree the need for a consistent type and on top of that think we can
 build a layer of customization without forgoing that promise of
 consistency.
