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.
