Yes, of course. I mean that every class is a type, but I am aware that 
one can have several classes that have the same type. I am further 
aware that, for many classes, the domain of allowable values that an 
object instantiated from the class can take is not really an important 
consideration.

Correct me if I'm wrong :-)
