[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2326) Treat all typesequally, i.e., no pseudotypes

David Wheeler  commented on OFFICE-2326:
----------------------------------------

Hmm, I don't think the "no literals" helps.  Patrick said, "if a function requires DateParam, passing it a Basis should result in an error. Yes?".  But in practice *no* implementation treats this as an error.  If a function accepts a DateParam, then *anything* based on Number is accepted, period, and it doesn't matter if there's a literal format or not.

> We currently have types and  pseudotypes. The latter does not appear to serve any meaningful role.
