+          Secret developer feature.  Since datatypes are now represented as 
+          strings internally, you can bypass limitations of the parser and
+          create a wild datatype by simply enclosing the raw string encoding
+          in backticks (``) and sticking it in the interface file anywhere a
+          type is expected.  For example, `a(20).a(10).p.f(int,int)`.  This 
+          feature is only intended for testing (i.e., you want to see what
+          happens to your language module if it gets a reference to a pointer
+          to an array of pointers to functions or something). 
+          *** SICK HACK ***

           Completely new type-system added to the implementation.
           More details later.
