Wait, what?  You can have nested braces in \type?  I had no idea!  That
actually saves me a lot of trouble, thanks,

Hi Idris,

Asking for brace-trickery ...

What about: \textbraceleft\type{A}\textbraceright


Kind regards

Not a solution, but a workaround:

   \head\relax \expandafter\type\scantokens{{ {A} }}

(I don't know how to solve this)

Possible bug in verbatim

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear cartel,

There is an apparent bug in the verbatim mechanism. In the following example, 
the `A' is typed but the curly brackets are not typed after \head. \type works 
as expected in the other two instances. I tried \relax (and a couple of other 
hacks) but that does not help. Please advise.

Thnx in advance
Idris
