Hmm... what about strings? I feel like that would probably be the most
useful thing - being able to mark strings as "just binary data,
unprintable", or in a web app marking "safe/sanitized/trusted" strings
that can be output straight into the HTML of a page, or different text
encodings, and so on. Would that be possible too, or are strings
different?
