Claw only uses a handful of access types in its interfaces (internally is a 
different story, but irrelevant to this discussion). Most Claw example 
programs use no access types at all.

If you need to do this, using an indefinite container to hold the objects is 
preferable to using explicit access types. Again, access types probably are 
used to implement the container, but they aren't visible anywhere. This 
eliminates the horrors of explicit storage management and most (or all, 
depending on the implementation) of the unsafeness of access types without 
any distributed overhead. (Unlike garbage collection, which has to be done 
on all objects to work, so even objects that don't need management have to 
pay for it.)
