in the way we (including miller) kind of agreed at LAC2008 the answer  
is simple: you don't.

my initial idea of having a "type registry" (which was turned down as  
it seemed to be too complicated for the "minor" (not so many devs  
would probably use it anyway) feature of adding more types) would have  
added a callback for the use in atom_getstring()
