It is a distinction between a member and a set where it belongs to. These
are not equivalent. Furthermore a type may be member of more than one
classes (sets of types). Also an operation may be primitive in more than
one class (AKA multiple dispatch). In this context it is difficult to see
how the model of re-dispatching primitive operations could be made
feasible.
