Comment (by rjasdfiii):

 Much of this discussion has been techy.  Please back up for a minute and
 provide a couple of real-life examples of an applications and how an end
 user would code this both before and after "value type" was added.  Think
 ahead to examples that might goe into the WP (or Woo, etc) reference
 manual.
