We could, I suppose, make an internal distinction between
"general" scalars and scalars that have been converted from
observation identifiers, and limit the contexts in which we
accept the latter.
I've done something like this in CVS, and done a certain
amount of checking for bad side-effects. OK so far, but more
testing would be good.
