Any type from a set of types? You mean a class-wide object then. The 
representation of a class-wide object is (Tag, Value). So, name the 
specific type and you get the representation. You cannot skip that step. 
There is no values and representations of without types.

I do not quite understand this either, but it sounds more right than 
wrong. So?

P.S. It would be much easier, if you first stated a proposition and then 
illustrated it with an example, rather than trowing an example without 
any hits as to what class of circumstances this example is supposed to 
represent.
