Exactly, I been told that alreadly when i tryed to do
something similar.
Besides it doesnt fits my needs of retrieving the data
type using the 
address of a variable. If i were to use OPDESCs i'd
need to define one
function (or several parameters in the same function)
to handle each 
data type, and that is what im trying to avoid.
