I understand the difference:

  * Data type says what kind of data passes through a terminal
  * Node type says what the node will do to the data

And, yes, my example was using data types (INTEGER, etc.), but the same
principle applies: You can make new types ("pseudo-types") by combining
several node types in a subnet, right?  They are not hard-coded but built as
a network.  You may not have considered it to be "type defining", but it is,
in effect, no?

Yeah, that's just the sort of thing we need to improve with Piper.
