I'm not completely sold on adding a class method to type, but I acknowledge
that it's a convenient place to put it.  Still, it doesn't feel particularly
more right than adding it to say, the operator module.  I don't think we have
any class methods on type yet, so this would be setting a precedence that we
should be sure we want to establish.

Cheers,
