oe.types.value -> oe.data.typed_value
This name has been bugging me. This function is the primary interface to
the module for OE metadata, as it takes a variable name and datastore and
returns an object of the correct type. While this function is part of the
variable typing implementation, in reality it's more about giving you a
useful object from the metadata, so I think oe.data is a more appropriate
place for it.
oe.types -> oe.maketype
These are the functions which construct types, not the types themselves,
so it was somewhat misleading.
oe._types -> oe.types
These are the actual types, any callable in this module becomes an OE
type, using its arguments to determine the variable flags (optional and
required) to obey. Will use __init__'s args in the case of an actual
python class.
