I have just realised exactly why I have a problem with most of this ...
Domain! Used as an 'OtherThing'

This is ALSO attributes, since an SQL domain defines all of the
attributes that I need to handle in relation to variables. 'int' on it's
own does very little since one still needs to add all the other checks,
but adding 'types' as a properly formatted domain solves all the
problems I'm looking at ... and leaves plenty of room for others to
abuse the in their own way?

http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/fblangref25-en/html/fblangref25-ddl-domn.html

Note such elements as [<array_dim>] to allow for arrays of a datatype
although that still leaves the handling of mix arrays.

Some of the conditions may seem irreverent, but if the domain is a set
of keys for an array that logic then makes sense?

I can even see the addition of a 'read only' flag to solve that problem
while still constraining the initial setting of a domain.

But this is simply user land code and does not need a small subset of
elements of it added to the code base?
