- \type typesets its argument verbatim (catcodes, spaces, etc).
- \type has two variants \type{...} (but braces have usual catcode inside
the arugment, or \type!...! \type+...+ (basically, \type<char>...<char>)
where everything other than the first char has other catcode. This is
useful if the argument has unbalanced brances.
- \type may fail in commands that store their arguments to aux files
(\section, etc) or commands that process their arguments twice (\bTABLE,
etc) or carry around their arguments (\footnote, etc). In some of these
cases, using \retype{...} instead works.
