Steve, OK, I'm starting to get the picture. One thing to be careful about: many applications will need to create lots of similar RealTypes. For example, some weather models generate densities for lots of different frozen states of water (e.g., pellets, grappel, sleet, big hail, medium hail, little hail - I've probably got the details wrong here, but do know that some models generate about 20 of these things) and need each one to be a different RealType to support visualizing correlations between densities of these different states. RealTypes are sort of like variable names when you're doing mathematics. You end up with so many that you need to start using subscripts and greek letters (hmmm, sounds like Unicode).
