A variable that can have several types depending on how it is assigned 
or casted is polysemous. Walter wants to use this especially for string 
literals -- should it be fixed length or not, should it be char, wchar, 
dchar?

This sort of thing can be statically checked, but D doesn't do it 
currently. It probably will within the next year or so.
