I'm concerned that the typed_value class becomes a big bag of data and
methods, and it's hard to understand it by just looking. I think I'll need
to drop all those 'implicit'/'multitoken'/'zero_tokens' method in favour of
'min/max' scheme used by positional_options, but I would not like to do
this right before release.
