BTW, why does this return const char* from typename(type) instead
of just returning the enum object_type and letting the caller do
typename() if they want it?  Most of our other code that returns
types returns the enum, not the string.  :-\

It just was not converted from the old string interface.  I
thought you are old enough to remember ;-)
